Willy Tarreau 0ce51dc93b MEDIUM: dynbuf: implement emergency buffers
The buffer reserve set by tune.buffers.reserve has long been unused, and
in order to deal gracefully with failed memory allocations we'll need to
resort to a few emergency buffers that are pre-allocated per thread.

These buffers are only for emergency use, so every time their count is
below the configured number a b_free() will refill them. For this reason
their count can remain pretty low. We changed the default number from 2
to 4 per thread, and the minimum value is now zero (e.g. for low-memory
systems). The tune.buffers.limit setting has always been a problem when
trying to deal with the reserve but now we could simplify it by simply
pushing the limit (if set) to match the reserve. That was already done in
the past with a static value, but now with threads it was a bit trickier,
which is why the per-thread allocators increment the limit on the fly
before allocating their own buffers. This also means that the configured
limit is saner and now corresponds to the regular buffers that can be
allocated on top of emergency buffers.

At the moment these emergency buffers are not used upon allocation
failure. The only reason is to ease bisecting later if needed, since
this commit only has to deal with resource management.

The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for
ease of use.

Please refer to the following files depending on what you're looking for :

  - INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install HAProxy
  - BRANCHES to understand the project's life cycle and what version to use
  - LICENSE for the project's license
  - CONTRIBUTING for the process to follow to submit contributions

The more detailed documentation is located into the doc/ directory :

  - doc/intro.txt for a quick introduction on HAProxy
  - doc/configuration.txt for the configuration's reference manual
  - doc/lua.txt for the Lua's reference manual
  - doc/SPOE.txt for how to use the SPOE engine
