Merge remote-tracking branch 'public/bug4457_022' into bug4457_master
Conflicts: src/common/compat_libevent.c Resolving conflict by not taking 7363eae13cb8 ("Use the EVENT_BASE_FLAG_NOLOCK flag to prevent socketpair() invocation"): in Tor 0.2.3.x, we _do_ sometimes use notifiable event bases.

+ o Minor bugfixes:
+ - Initialize Libevent with the EVENT_BASE_FLAG_NOLOCK flag enabled, so
+ that it doesn't attempt to allocate a socketpair. This could cause
+ some problems on windows systems with overzealous firewalls. Fix for
+ bug 4457; workaround for Libevent versions 2.0.1-alpha through
+ 2.0.15-stable.
+
+ - Detect failure to initialize Libevent. Better detection for bug 4457.
