Subject: dirmngr: hkp: Avoid potential race condition when some hosts die.
* dirmngr/ks-engine-hkp.c (select_random_host): Use atomic pass
through the host table instead of risking out-of-bounds write.
--
Multiple threads may write to hosttable[x]->dead while
select_random_host() is running. For example, a housekeeping thread
might clear the ->dead bit on some entries, or another connection to
dirmngr might manually mark a host as alive.
If one or more hosts are resurrected between the two loops over a
given table in select_random_host(), then the allocation of tbl might
not be large enough, resulting in a write past the end of tbl on the
second loop.
This change collapses the two loops into a single loop to avoid this
discrepancy: each host's "dead" bit is now only checked once.
As Werner points out, this isn't currently strictly necessary, since
npth will not switch threads unless a blocking system call is made,
and no blocking system call is made in these two loops.
However, in a subsequent change in this series, we will call a
function in this loop, and that function may sometimes write(2), or
call other functions, which may themselves block. Keeping this as a
single-pass loop avoids the need to keep track of what might block and
what might not.

Subject: dirmngr: Avoid need for hkp housekeeping.
* dirmngr/ks-engine-hkp.c (host_is_alive): New function. Test whether
host is alive and resurrects it if it has been dead long enough.
(select_random_host, map_host, ks_hkp_mark_host): Use host_is_alive
instead of testing hostinfo_t->dead directly.
(ks_hkp_housekeeping): Remove function, no longer needed.
* dirmngr/dirmngr.c (housekeeping_thread): Remove call to
ks_hkp_housekeeping.
--
Rather than resurrecting hosts upon scheduled resurrection times, test
whether hosts should be resurrected as they're inspected for being
dead. This removes the need for explicit housekeeping, and makes host
resurrections happen "just in time", rather than being clustered on
HOUSEKEEPING_INTERVAL seconds.
According to 392e068e9f143d41f6350345619543cbcd47380f,
dns_stuff_housekeeping only works on Windows, so it also isn't
necessary in debian, but it remains in place for now.
