We cannot safely call "fileno(undef)" without bringing down the
entire -nntpd process :x.  To ensure no logging regression, we
now stash the FD for the duration of the long response to ensure
the error can be matched to the original command in logs.

Leftover cyclic references are a source of memory leaks.  While
our code is AFAIK unaffected by such leaks at the moment,
eliminating a potential source of bugs will make maintenance
easier.

We make the long_response API cycle-free by stashing the
callback into the NNTP object.  However, callers will need
to be updated to get rid of the circular reference to $self.
We do that be replacing anonymous subs with name subroutine
references, such as xref_range_i replacing the formerly
anonymous sub inside hdr_xref.

While there are no known memory leaks in our code, the short-lived
reference cycle introduced by the long_response API is a potential
source of bugs.

Change the long_response API and update callers to pass
parameter explicitly to named subroutines instead of anonymous
ones.

Since creating new anonymous subs (aka "closures") take a fair
amount of memory in Perl, this ought to reduce memory pressure,
as well, since we're now only creating lightweight references to
long-lived subs.  The tradeoff is we make a few more hash
lookups since we no longer cache some hash lookups into local
variables onto the stack.

Eric Wong (8):
  nntp: get_range: return scalarref for $beg
  nntp: remove cyclic refs from long_response
  nntp: hdr_searchmsg: use named sub for numeric range response
  nntp: cmd_xrover: use named sub for long_response
  nntp: cmd_listgroup: use named subs for long_response
  nntp: cmd_newnews: use named sub for long_response
  nntp: hdr_msg_id: use named sub for long_response
  nntp: cmd_xover: use named sub for long_response
