Max Lv 227ad1bb9c Compile the event loop, UDP relay and programs as C++
Rename utils, ss_event, udprelay, winsock, local, server, tunnel, redir
and manager from .c to .cpp. Inside the moved files only the
\snippet{doc} file references and header comments change; snippet
references in doc/*.md, tests/test_cli_docs.py, the build files and
CONTRIBUTION.md follow the new names.

Also cast the Windows-only string literal returned by
get_default_conf(), found by the zig x86_64-windows-gnu build.

Every module of src/ except the unbuilt android.c and the vendored
blake3 is now compiled as C++20. The new .cpp files join the no-heap
ratchet baseline.

\brief ss-server controller for multi-user management and traffic statistics
\section ss_manager_synopsis SYNOPSIS
`ss-manager [options]`
\section ss_manager_description DESCRIPTION
*shadowsocks-c* is a lightweight and secure socks5 proxy.
It is a port of the original shadowsocks created by clowwindy.
*shadowsocks-c* is written in pure C and takes advantage of libuv to
achieve both high performance and low resource consumption.
*shadowsocks-c* consists of five components.
ss-manager(1) is a controller for multi-user management and
traffic statistics, using UNIX domain socket to talk with ss-server(1).
Also, it provides a UNIX domain socket or IP based API for other software.
About the details of this API, please refer to the following `PROTOCOL`
section.
\section ss_manager_options OPTIONS
Options include all supported platform variants; restrictions are noted below.
\snippet{doc} manager.cpp cli-options
\section ss_manager_protocol PROTOCOL
ss-manager(1) provides several APIs through UDP protocol:
**Send UDP commands in the following format to the manager-address provided to ss-manager(1):**
```text
command: [JSON data]
```
**To add a port:**
```text
add: {"server_port": 8001, "password":"7cd308cc059"}
```
**To remove a port:**
```text
remove: {"server_port": 8001}
```
**To receive the traffic statistics:**
```text
ping
```
**The format of the traffic statistics:**
```text
stat: {"8001":11370}
```
There is no way to reset the traffic statistics, unless you remove the port and add it again
\section ss_manager_example EXAMPLE
To use ss-manager(1), First start it and specify necessary information.
Then communicate with ss-manager(1) through UNIX Domain Socket using UDP
protocol:
```
# Start the manager. Arguments for ss-server will be passed to generated
# ss-server process(es) respectively.
ss-manager --manager-address /tmp/manager.sock --executable $(which ss-server) -s example.com -m aes-256-cfb -c /path/to/config.json
# Connect to the socket. Using netcat-openbsd as an example.
# You should use scripts or other programs for further management.
nc -Uu /tmp/manager.sock
```
After that, you may communicate with ss-manager(1) as described above in the
`PROTOCOL` section.
