d17ab0e56fde9666f5eb9918a918db965b82c2a9 The new auth_delay directive for delaying unauthorized requests.
The request processing is delayed by a timer. Since nginx updates
internal time once at the start of each event loop iteration, this
normally ensures constant time delay, adding a mitigation from
time-based attacks.
A notable exception to this is the case when there are no additional
events before the timer expires. To ensure constant-time processing
in this case as well, we trigger an additional event loop iteration
by posting a dummy event for the next event loop iteration.
