Prefer mmap to sendfile unless a DRAINS_TO_FD flag is set. Allows add_file to work with SSL.
The sendfile() implementation for evbuffer_add_file is potentially more
efficient, but it has a problem: you can only use it to send bytes over
a socket using sendfile(). If you are writing bytes via SSL_send() or
via a filter, or if you need to be able to inspect your buffer, it
doesn't work.
As an easy fix, this patch disables the sendfile-based implementation of
evbuffer_add_file on an evbuffer unless the user sets a new
EVBUFFER_FLAG_DRAINS_TO_FD flag on that evbuffer, indicating that the
evbuffer will not be inspected, but only written out via
evbuffer_write(), evbuffer_write_atmost(), or drained with stuff like
evbuffer_drain() or evbuffer_add_buffer(). This flag is off by
default, except for evbuffers used for output on bufferevent_socket.
In the future, it could be interesting to make a best-effort file
segment implementation that tries to send via sendfile, but mmaps on
demand. That's too much complexity for a stable release series, though.

Make IOCP rate-limiting group support stricter and less surprising.
Previously, we wouldn't decrement read/write buckets because of IOCP
reads and writes until those reads and writes were complete. That's
not so bad on the per-connection front. But for group limits, the
old approach makes us launch a huge amount of reads and writes
whenever the group limit becomes positive, and then decrement the
limit to a hugely negative number as they complete.
With this patch, we decrement our read buckets whenever we launch an
IOCP read or write, based on the maximum that tried to read or
write. Later, when the operations finish, we re-increment the
bucket based on the portion of the request that couldn't finish.

Fix handling of group rate limits under 64 bytes of burst
The "min_share" logic, which was designed to prevent piles of
extremely small writes when running up against a group rate limit,
could lead to confusing behavior if you ever set a min_share less
than your burst rate. If that happened, then as soon as your group
rate limit was exhausted, you'd stop reading/writing, and never
start again, since the amount readable/writeable would never
actually hit min_share.

Ignore deprecation warnings on OS X
Starting with Lion, Apple decided to deprecate the system openssl. We
can start requiring users to install their own openssl once OS X doesn't
ship with it anymore.

Fix bug in SSL bufferevents backed by a bev with a write high-watermarks
Original mail:
the logic that handles write watermarks in "bio_bufferevent_write"
is not working. It currently doesn't write any data if the high
watermark is *above* the amount of data to write (i.e. when there
is actually enough room available).

Fix tinytest invocation from windows shell
Original post:
This post is in response to a posting last December on a Windows
regression fork failure ([Libevent-users] Re: Libevent 2.0.10-stable
is released by Dongsheng Song). I noticed the question was not
answered and I recently experienced the same error myself when
trying to run the Windows regression tests myself.
I checked the return status from the CreateProcess call and found it
was "file not found". This led me to look at the command-line I was
using which was .\regress in a Visual Studio 2008 command prompt
window. Windows could not find the file because it did not have the
.exe extension on the end. The code that builds the command should
be modified to ensure the extension is present.

Report kqueue ebadf, epipe, and eperm as EV_READ events
When asked to add one side of a pipe, and the other side has been
closed, kqueue on NetBSD will say EBADF; kqueue on FreeBSD will say
EPIPE, and kqueue on OpenBSD will say EPERM. So treat all of these
as EV_READ events, to give the user an opportunity to notice that
the pipe is closed.

Fix incorrect results from evbuffer_search_eol(EOL_LF)
Our evbuffer_strchr() function [which was only used for
search_eol(EOL_LF) could give incorrect results if it found its answer
in the first chunk but didn't start searching from the front of the
chunk.
Also, this patch adds unit tests for evbuffer_search_eol, particularly
in those cases that evbuffer_readln() tests didn't exercise.
