[tor-commits] [tor/main] relay: For metrics, don't report DNS errors by query type



commit e7abab878241592e262bad1bd64a14b10cc392a4
Author: David Goulet <dgoulet@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

    relay: For metrics, don't report DNS errors by query type
    
    This is due to the libevent bug
    https://github.com/libevent/libevent/issues/1219 that fails to return
    back the DNS record type on error.
    
    And so, the MetricsPort now only reports the errors as a global counter
    and not a per record type.
    
    Closes #40490

+  o Major bugfix (relay, metrics):
+    - On the MetricsPort, the DNS error statistics are not reported by record
+      type ("record=...") anymore due to a libevent bug
+      (https://github.com/libevent/libevent/issues/1219). Fixes bug 40490;
+      bugfix on 0.4.7.1-alpha.
