Comment (by teor):
I think we'll do well with the following abstractions:
* a request for a specific resource
* a pool of available connections
* a connection to a specific endpoint
* lifecycles to manage the request, pool, connection, and endpoint states
* a prioritiser and scheduler (which can implement happy eyeballs) to make
sure the pool is healthy, and get the resource from the pool
Building up the layers:
* we have pools of Fallback Directory Mirrors, Authorities, Directory
Guards, Guards, and Bridges
* we have pools of ORPort and DirPort connections
* we have a pool of directory requests for each kind of directory document
* we have a pool of preemptive circuits for each kind of circuit
