Comment:

 OK, I took Mike's branch from above and rebased and squashed it so that
 it's nicer to merge: https://github.com/torproject/tor/pull/1030

 I also posted the proposal that explains the machines in
 https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2019-May/013822.html

 Mike, I did not split the machine states in different functions due to
 lack of time, and being afraid of causing a bug. I agree with you it will
 be better this way, but perhaps we can do it post-merge as a refactoring
 commit.
