[tor-commits] [tor/master] Macros for declaring configuration structs and variable-tables

Macros for declaring configuration structs and variable-tables
In our old design, we had to declare configuration structures (like
or_options_t) and variable tables (like option_vars_) separately,
and we used some magic to enforce their consistency (see
conftesting.h).
With this design, we write a single definition for the configuration
object and its fields, and use C macros to expand it either into a
structure, or a variable table. Since they are both made from the
same source, they can't become inconsistent.
The two designs can coexist happily, and we can migrate from one to
the other at our convenience.

+ * @file confdecl.h
+ * @brief Macros for generating a configuration struct from a list
+ * of its individual fields.
+ *
+ * This header defines three important macros: BEGIN_CONF_STRUCT(),
+ * END_CONF_STRUCT(), and CONF_VAR(). They're meant to be used together to
+ * define a configuration structure and the means for encoding and decoding
+ * it.
+ *
+ * To use them, make a new header with a name like `MOD_options.inc`. Start
+ * it with a BEGIN_CONF_STRUCT(), then define your variables with CONF_VAR(),
+ * then end the header with END_CONF_STRUCT(), as in:
+ *
+ * BEGIN_CONF_STRUCT(module_options_t)
+ * CONF_VAR(ModuleIsActive, BOOLEAN, 0, "1")
+ * END_CONF_STRUCT(module_options_t)
+ *
+ * Once you've done that, you can use that header to define a configuration
+ * structure by saying:
+ *
+ * typedef struct module_options_t module_options_t;
+ * #define CONF_CONTEXT STRUCT
+ * #include "MOD_options.inc"
+ * #undef CONF_CONTEXT
+ *
+ * And you can define your field definition table by saying:
+ *
+ * #define CONF_CONTEXT TABLE
+ * #include "MOD_options.inc"
+ * #undef CONF_CONTEXT
+ *
+ * The two above snippets will define a structure called `module_options_t`
+ * with appropriate members, and a table of config_var_t objects called
+ * `module_options_t_vars[]`.
