Config.pm: Add support for mailing list information
The world has turned since I first started following mailing lists and
to my surprise every mailing list that I am subscribed to properly
sets the "List-ID:" mailing list header. So instead of doing
something clever and flexible I am adding support for looking up
public inbox mailing lists by their mailing list name.
That makes the work needed for each email trivial and easy to understand.
- Parse the "List-ID:" header.
- Lookup in the configuration which mailbox is connected to that
"List-ID:"
- Deliver the mail to that mailbox.
To that end this change enhances PublicInbox to have an additional
mailbox configuration parameter "listid" that holds the mailing list
name.
A method is added to the PublicInbox config object called
lookup_list_id that given a mailing list name will return the
PublicInbox in the configuration that is configured to handle that
mailing list.

httpd: disable Deflater middleware by default on Perl <5.18
Testing with perl-5.16.3-294.el7_6 RPM package on RHEL/CentOS 7,
the Deflater middleware triggers a leak when used in conjunction
with our push-based responses from PublicInbox::Qspawn.
I could not find another solution to workaround the memory leak
in this case, and I could not find a specific leak fix in
the perl5180delta manpage[1] which looked like it would
solve our problem.
Attempting to workaround the issue proved futile. Using
internal Deflater-specific keys to prevent deflating in
GitHTTPBackend and Qspawn did not solve the problem:
$env->{"plack.skip-deflater"} = 1;
$env->{"psgix.no-compress"} = 1;
Nor did forcing an invalid encoding via "git fetch":
git -c http.extraheader=Accept-Encoding:gzap fetch
So this appears to be a problem with Plack::Util::response_cb
somewhere.
This does NOT appear to be a problem with ref() leaking as in
DS::next_tick[2], since I couldn't find where
Plack::Middleware::Deflater or Plack::Util::response_cb would be
calling ref() on a blessed reference to trigger a leak.
Also, oddly enough, the ref() use for backwards compatibility at
the top of PublicInbox::GitHTTPBackend::serve does NOT seem to
trigger a leak on 5.16.3 due to [2]:
# XXX compatibility... ugh, can we stop supporting this?

nntp: improve error reporting for COMPRESS
Add some checks for errors at initialization, though there's not
much that can be done with ENOMEM-type errors aside from

We can also get rid of the scary FIXME for MemLevel=8. It was a
stupid error on my part in the original per-client deflate
stream implementation calling C::R::Z::{Inflate,Deflate} in
array context and getting the extra dualvar error code as a
string result, causing the {zin}/{zout} array refs to have
extra array elements.

nntp: reduce memory overhead of zlib
Using Z_FULL_FLUSH at the right places in our event loop, it
appears we can share a single zlib deflate context across ALL
clients in a process.
The zlib deflate context is the biggest factor in per-client
memory use, so being able to share that across many clients
results in a large memory savings.
With 10K idle-but-did-something NNTP clients connected to a
single process on a 64-bit system, TLS+DEFLATE used around
1.8 GB of RSS before this change. It now uses around 300 MB.
TLS via IO::Socket::SSL alone uses <200MB in the same situation,
so the actual memory reduction is over 10x.
This makes compression less efficient and bandwidth increases
around 45% in informal testing, but it's far better than no
compression at all. It's likely around the same level of
compression gzip gives on the HTTP side.
Security implications with TLS? I don't know, but I don't
really care, either... public-inbox-nntpd doesn't support
authentication and it's up to the client to enable compression.
It's not too different than Varnish caching gzipped responses
on the HTTP side and having responses go to multiple HTTPS
clients.

nntp: support COMPRESS DEFLATE per RFC 8054
This is only tested so far with my patches to Net::NNTP at:
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=129967
Memory use in C10K situations is disappointing, but that's
the nature of compression.
gzip compression over HTTPS does have the advantage of not
keeping zlib streams open when clients are idle, at the
cost of worse compression.

It's a tad slower, but we'll be able to subclass this to rely
