make clients with strict-connect option explicitly connect to provided snode. #2174

Open majestrate opened 1 year ago

majestrate commented 1 year ago

make lokinet client with strict-connect option provided explicitly connect out to snodes provided. before it was just randomly chugging through peer selection until it found one we explicitly pinned. this rarely works.

create new component for selecting edge snodes as client (llarp::consensus::EdgeSelector)
require llarp::AbstractRouter own a llarp::consensus::EdgeSelector
make outbound_session_maker.cpp use llarp::consensus::EdgeSelector owned by llarp::AbstractRouter

fixes #2169

this and #2164 should address the wire protocol regression introduced in 0.9.11, getting this merged would be a great thing to add to a point release before flipping the network into full on quic tls/1.3

@tewinget it may help in refactoring the existing path builder code to decompose the existing path selection code to have similar kinds of hop selectors as this PR does e.g. aligned_hop_selector which given an ordered set of previous hops, path length and the final aligned hop can select the next best hop.
