Make this just return the key dict, rather than a single-entry dict mapping the
server name to the key dict. It's easy for the caller to get the server name
from from the response object anyway.
Firstly, don't swallow the reason for the failure
Secondly, don't assume all exceptions are verification failures
Thirdly, log a bit of info about the key being used if debug is enabled
While I was going through uses of preserve_fn for other PRs, I converted places
which only use the wrapped function once to use run_in_background, to avoid
creating the function object.
There were a bunch of places where we fire off a process to happen in the
background, but don't have any exception handling on it - instead relying on
the unhandled error being logged when the relevent deferred gets
garbage-collected.
This is unsatisfactory for a number of reasons:
- logging on garbage collection is best-effort and may happen some time after
the error, if at all
- it can be hard to figure out where the error actually happened.
- it is logged as a scary CRITICAL error which (a) I always forget to grep for
and (b) it's not really CRITICAL if a background process we don't care about
fails.
So this is an attempt to add exception handling to everything we fire off into
the background.
Doing this I learned e.message was pretty shortlived, added in 2.6,
they realized it was a bad idea and deprecated it in 2.7

preserve_context_over_fn is essentially broken, because (a) it pointlessly
drops the current logcontext before calling its wrapped function, which means
we don't get any useful logcontexts for _handle_key_deferred; (b) it wraps the
resulting deferred in a _PreservingContextDeferred, which is very dangerous
because you then can't yield on it without leaking context back into the
reactor.
Instead, let's specify that the resultant deferreds call their callbacks with
no logcontext.
... which means that logcontexts can be correctly preserved for the stuff it
does.
get_server_verify_keys is now called with the logcontext, so needs to
preserve_fn when it fires off its nested inlineCallbacks function.
Also renames get_server_verify_keys to reflect the fact it's meant to be
private.
If the verify_request.deferred has already completed, then `remove_deferreds`
will be called immediately. It therefore might resolve the server_to_deferred
deferred while there are still other requests for that server in flight.
To avoid that, we should build the complete list of requests, and *then* add the
callbacks.
Define that it is run with no log context, and make sure that happens.
If we aren't careful to reset the logcontext, we can't bung the deferreds into
defer.gatherResults etc. We don't actually do that directly, but we *do*
resolve other deferreds from affected callbacks (notably the server_to_deferred
map in _start_key_lookups), and those *do* get passed into
defer.gatherResults. It turns out that this way ends up being least confusing.
There's no need for this to be a nested definition; pulling it out not only
makes it more efficient, but makes it easier to check that it's not accessing
any local variables it shouldn't be.
I'm still unclear on what the intended behaviour for
`verify_json_objects_for_server` is, but at least I now understand the
behaviour of most of the things it calls...
