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.

*
* \brief Functions and structures to handle set-type selection of routers
* by name, ID, address, etc.
+ *
+ * This module implements the routerset_t data structure, whose purpose
+ * is to specify a set of relays based on a list of their identities or
+ * properties. Routersets can restrict relays by IP address mask,
+ * identity fingerprint, country codes, and nicknames (deprecated).
+ *
+ * Routersets are typically used for user-specified restrictions, and
+ * are created by invoking routerset_new and routerset_parse from
+ * config.c and confparse.c. To use a routerset, invoke one of
+ * routerset_contains_...() functions , or use
+ * routerstatus_get_all_nodes() / routerstatus_subtract_nodes() to
+ * manipulate a smartlist of node_t pointers.
+ *
+ * Country-code restrictions are implemented in geoip.c.
