Write a bunch of module documentation.

This commit adds or improves the module-level documenation for:

  buffers.c circuitstats.c command.c connection_edge.c control.c
  cpuworker.c crypto_curve25519.c crypto_curve25519.h
  crypto_ed25519.c crypto_format.c dircollate.c dirserv.c dns.c
  dns_structs.h fp_pair.c geoip.c hibernate.c keypin.c ntmain.c
  onion.c onion_fast.c onion_ntor.c onion_tap.c periodic.c
  protover.c protover.h reasons.c rephist.c replaycache.c
  routerlist.c routerparse.c routerset.c statefile.c status.c
  tor_main.c workqueue.c

In particular, I've tried to explain (for each documented module)
what each module does, what's in it, what the big idea is, why it
belongs in Tor, and who calls it.  In a few cases, I've added TODO
notes about refactoring opportunities.

I've also renamed an argument, and fixed a few DOCDOC comments.

  * to summarizing client connections by country to entry guards, bridges,

  * requests.
+ *
+ * There are two main kinds of functions in this module: geoip functions,
+ * which map groups of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to country codes, and
+ * statistical functions, which collect statistics about different kinds of
+ * per-country usage.
+ *
+ * The geoip lookup tables are implemented as sorted lists of disjoint address
+ * ranges, each mapping to a singleton geoip_country_t.  These country objects
+ * are also indexed by their names in a hashtable.
+ *
+ * The tables are populated from disk at startup by the geoip_load_file()
+ * function.  For more information on the file format they read, see that
+ * function.  See the scripts and the README file in src/config for more
+ * information about how those files are generated.
+ *
+ * Tor uses GeoIP information in order to implement user requests (such as
+ * ExcludeNodes {cc}), and to keep track of how much usage relays are getting
+ * for each country.
