Alberto Bertogli e79586a014 Implement HAProxy protocol support
This patch implements support for incoming connections wrapped in the
HAProxy protocol v1.

This is useful when running chasquid behind a HAProxy server, as it
needs the original source IP to perform SPF checks.

This patch is a reimplementation of one originally provided by Denys
Vitali in pull request #15, except the logic for the protocol handling
is moved to a new package, and the smtpsrv.Conn handling of the source
IP is simplified.

It is marked as experimental for now, since we want to give it a bit
more exposure just in case the option/api needs adjustment.

Thanks a lot to Denys Vitali (@denysvitali in github) for sending the
original patch for this, and helping test it!

Testing

Go tests

All Go packages have their own test suite, which provides easy and portable tests with decent enough coverage.

Integration tests

In the test/ directory there is a set of end to end integration tests, written usually in a combination of bash and Python 3.

They're not expected to be portable, as that gets impractical very quickly, but should be usable in most Linux environments.

They provide critical coverage and integration tests for real life scenarios, as well as interactions with other software (like Exim or Dovecot).

Dependencies

The tests depend on the following things being installed on the system (listed as Debian package, for consistency):

  • msmtp
  • util-linux (for /usr/bin/setsid)

Some individual tests have additional dependencies, and the tests are skipped if the dependencies are not found:

  • t-02-exim Exim interaction tests:
    • gettext-base (for /usr/bin/envsubst)
    • The exim binary available somewhere, but it doesn't have to be installed. There's a script get-exim4-debian.sh to get it from the archives.
  • t-11-dovecot Dovecot interaction tests:
    • dovecot
  • t-15-driusan_dkim DKIM integration tests:
    • The dkimsign dkimverify dkimkeygen binaries, from driusan/dkim (no Debian package yet).
  • t-18-haproxy HAProxy integration tests:
    • haproxy

For some tests, python >= 3.5 is required; they will be skipped if it's not available.

Stress tests

Also in the test/ directory there is a set of stress tests, which generate load against chasquid to measure performance and resource consumption.

While they are not exhaustive, they are useful to catch regressions and track improvements on the main code paths.

Fuzz tests

Some Go packages also have instrumentation to run fuzz testing against them, with the go-fuzz tool.

This is critical for packages that handle sensitive user input, such as authentication encoding, aliases files, or username normalization.

They are implemented by a fuzz.go file within their respective Go packages.

Command-line tool tests

Each command-line tool has their own set of tests, see the test.sh file on their corresponding directories.

Docker

The test/Dockerfile can be used to set up a suitable isolated environment to run the integration and stress tests.

This is very useful for automated tests, or running the integration tests in constrained or non supported environments.

Automated tests

There are two sets of automated tests which are run on every commit to upstream, and weekly:

  • GitLab CI, configured in the .gitlab-ci.yml file, runs the Go tests and the integration tests (using docker).
    The integration tests are run twice: once against the dependencies listed in go.mod, and once against the latest version of the dependencies. It also builds the public Docker images.

  • Cirrus CI, configured in the .cirrus.yml file, runs Go tests on FreeBSD, and a comprehensive linter.

Coverage

The test/cover.sh script runs the integration tests in coverage mode, and produces a code coverage report in HTML format, for ease of analysis.

Unfortunately, exiting with any of the Fatal functions does not save coverage output. Those paths are very important to test, but don't expect to see them reflected in the coverage report for now.

The target is to keep coverage of the chasquid binary above 90%.
