Torrust Tracker

Configuration Overhaul:

• Config overhaul: change env var names convention torrust/torrust-tracker#851
• Config overhaul: replace primitive types in configuration with richer types torrust/torrust-tracker#852
• Config overhaul: missing toml file location in Figment errors torrust/torrust-tracker#855
• Config overhaul: remove default values from config file templates torrust/torrust-tracker#856
• Use figment for configuration torrust/torrust-tracker#808
• New proposal for toml config file (version 2): Define version 2 for toml configuration file torrust/torrust-tracker#853

Key points in configuration overhaul:

• We use Figment.
• You don't need to provide all config options. You only provide the ones you want to override from default values.
• All config values can be overridden via environment variables.
• Env varas were renamed:
  • To follow Figment conventions
  • To give them better names
  • To allow using other config file formats like JSON, in the future.

Review timeouts (all issues related to timeouts on the server side are fixed):

• Tracker API: Add a timeout to the TLS handshake, waiting for headers, and waiting for receiving headers torrust/torrust-tracker#612
• HTTP Tracker: Add a timeout to the TLS handshake, waiting for headers, and waiting for receiving headers torrust/torrust-tracker#613

NOTE: The server timeout for the first request after opening the connection can be improved in the future by returning a "408 Request Timeout" message like ActixWeb. The current solution only closes the connection without sending a message to the client, but it seems to be an acceptable and regular practice.
