doc/dev/notes: cell-lifecycle: Describe the current state of things.

gabi-250 requested to merge gabi-250/arti:cell-lifecycle into main

These are my notes and observations about the circuit and channel reactors. In hindsight, this whole document is just stating the "obvious"1, so I'm not sure if it's going to be useful for anyone else. Also, since this isn't part of the code docs or tor-proto crate-level docs, it's very likely to become outdated in the near future (LMK if you think any of this should be moved to the tor-proto readme, for example).

At the end of the document, I also wrote a very rough KIST implementation plan based on the discussion from #1712.

Closes #1747 (closed)

(This MR also contains a couple of small doc fixes)

  1. scare quotes because the "obvious" is only obvious after you've stared at the circ/chan reactors for a while ↩
