A lookup whose RIR is paused is skipped. The skip left the fetcher's wait
as it was. Each lookup asks IANA before it finds its RIR paused. So while
most stale ASes belonged to a paused RIR, the fetcher could ask IANA every
second.
Like a failure, a skipped lookup now makes the wait 1.5 times as long, up
to one minute. The skip is still not counted as a failure, so the status
page's failure figures leave it out.

The fetcher kept one interval for every registry, so a registry that
refused a query was asked again within seconds. RIPE blocked the test
host's address that way.
The WHOIS client now pauses an RIR's or NIC.br's server for an hour
after the server refuses a query. A refused or reset connection is a
refusal, and so is an %ERROR:201: or %ERROR:202: line. Lookups at the
other servers go on. A lookup whose RIR is paused leaves the AS stale,
and counts as neither a success nor a failure. IANA is never paused,
because a pause of IANA would stop every lookup. NIC.br's hour-long
skip after its over-limit answer is now the same pause.

Five prefix handler tests gave HandleMessage two seconds to apply a full
batch of 25,000 prefixes, which under the race detector on a loaded host
takes longer. A test now waits up to stepTimeout, 15 seconds, for each step
it expects.
The slowest tests filled production limits, such as the peering handler's
500,000 paths. The peering handler now takes its path limit, and the prefix
handler its limit on one write of the table's changes, as they take their
timer interval. Those tests give small limits, and the tests of the maximum
batch size lower it to one batch. This also fixes
#215.
The test helpers bound every wait, Stop included, so a test that hangs in
one fails with its own message.

A failed lookup now makes the fetcher's wait 1.5 times as long, up to
one minute instead of five. A success still halves it.
RIPE counts the person and role objects an answer holds against a daily
limit per IP address, and refuses an address for good that passes it
too often. RIPE, APNIC and AFRINIC are now asked with --no-personal,
which leaves those objects out but keeps the organisation object.
An answer with RIPE's access-denied or limit-reached error line is now
reported as a refusal holding that line, not as an answer with no
fields.

recordSuccess and recordFailure appended a time on every fetch, and only
GetStats, run when a stats endpoint is requested, dropped the times older
than statsWindow, so a daemon nobody polled kept every one. Each now drops
those times before it appends. The drop takes them off the front of the
list instead of copying the rest: the times are in the order they were
recorded, and it now runs on every fetch.
The fetcher reads the time through a now field so a test can set the
clock. The test records 100,000 successes and failures a second apart
without asking for the stats and finds one hour's worth of each kept.

Shutdown passes its context to every stage: the streamer, the four
handlers, the WHOIS fetcher, the database maintainer and the HTTP server
each stop waiting when it ends. A handler then skips its last write and
logs how many updates it did not write, and the HTTP server closes the
connections still open. The database is checkpointed and closed last,
and left open once the deadline has passed, since a write may still
hold it. The stop hook gives Shutdown 8 seconds and fx 9, inside the 10
seconds upaas and docker stop allow, so a stop signal exits 0.

A lookup whose RIR query failed, or whose RIR answer carried none of the
WHOIS fields (a refusal of service, for one), returned IANA's answer as
a success. The fetcher stored it as complete with blank fields, did not
look the AS up again for 30 days, and shortened its interval. Such a
lookup is now an error: the fetcher backs off and leaves the row as it
was. The fields are read from the RIR's answer alone. An AS IANA refers
to no RIR is stored with no WHOIS data, so it is not looked up again
until it is stale, counting as neither a success nor a failure. Tests
reach fake WHOIS servers through the client's DialContext.
