 * Write scheduling works by keeping track of which channels can
 * accept cells, and have cells to write.  From the scheduler's perspective,
 * a channel can be in four possible states:
 *
 * 1.) Not open for writes, no cells to send
 *     - Not much to do here, and the channel will have scheduler_state ==
 *       SCHED_CHAN_IDLE
 *     - Transitions from:
 *       - Open for writes/has cells by simultaneously draining all circuit
 *         queues and filling the output buffer.
 *     - Transitions to:
 *       - Not open for writes/has cells by arrival of cells on an attached
 *         circuit (this would be driven from append_cell_to_circuit_queue())
 *       - Open for writes/no cells by a channel type specific path;
 *         driven from connection_or_flushed_some() for channel_tls_t.
 *
 * 2.) Open for writes, no cells to send
 *     - Not much here either; this will be the state an idle but open channel
 *       can be expected to settle in.  It will have scheduler_state ==
 *       SCHED_CHAN_WAITING_FOR_CELLS
 *     - Transitions from:
 *       - Not open for writes/no cells by flushing some of the output
 *         buffer.
 *       - Open for writes/has cells by the scheduler moving cells from
 *         circuit queues to channel output queue, but not having enough
 *         to fill the output queue.
 *     - Transitions to:
 *       - Open for writes/has cells by arrival of new cells on an attached
 *         circuit, in append_cell_to_circuit_queue()
 *
 * 3.) Not open for writes, cells to send
 *     - This is the state of a busy circuit limited by output bandwidth;
 *       cells have piled up in the circuit queues waiting to be relayed.
 *       The channel will have scheduler_state == SCHED_CHAN_WAITING_TO_WRITE.
 *     - Transitions from:
 *       - Not open for writes/no cells by arrival of cells on an attached
 *         circuit
 *       - Open for writes/has cells by filling an output buffer without
 *         draining all cells from attached circuits
 *    - Transitions to:
 *       - Opens for writes/has cells by draining some of the output buffer
 *         via the connection_or_flushed_some() path (for channel_tls_t).
 *
 * 4.) Open for writes, cells to send
 *     - This connection is ready to relay some cells and waiting for
 *       the scheduler to choose it.  The channel will have scheduler_state ==
 *       SCHED_CHAN_PENDING.
 *     - Transitions from:
 *       - Not open for writes/has cells by the connection_or_flushed_some()
 *         path
 *       - Open for writes/no cells by the append_cell_to_circuit_queue()
 *         path
 *     - Transitions to:
 *       - Not open for writes/no cells by draining all circuit queues and
 *         simultaneously filling the output buffer.
 *       - Not open for writes/has cells by writing enough cells to fill the
 *         output buffer
 *       - Open for writes/no cells by draining all attached circuit queues
 *         without also filling the output buffer
 *
 * Other event-driven parts of the code move channels between these scheduling
 * states by calling scheduler functions; the scheduler only runs on open-for-
 * writes/has-cells channels and is the only path for those to transition to
 * other states.  The scheduler_run() function gives us the opportunity to do
 * scheduling work, and is called from other scheduler functions whenever a
 * state transition occurs, and periodically from the main event loop.
