    Revise evbuffer to add last_with_data
    
    This is the first patch in a series to replace previous_to_last with
    last_with_data.  Currently, we can only use two partially empty chains
    at the end of an evbuffer, so if we have one with 511 bytes free, and
    another with 512 bytes free, and we try to do a 1024 byte read, we
    can't just stick another chain on the end: we need to reallocate the
    last one.  That's stupid and inefficient.
    
    Instead, this patch adds a last_with_data pointer to eventually
    replace previous_to_last.  Instead of pointing to the penultimated
    chain (if any) as previous_to_last does, last_with_data points to the
    last chain that has any data in it, if any.  If all chains are empty,
    last_with_data points to the first chain.  If there are no chains,
    last_with_data is NULL.
    
    The next step is to start using last_with_data everywhere that we
    currently use previous_to_last.  When that's done, we can remove
    previous_to_last and the code that maintains it.

    $ ./configure
    $ make
    $ make verify   # (optional)
    $ sudo make install
    
    1. BUILDING AND INSTALLATION (In Depth)
    
    To build libevent, type
    
    $ ./configure && make
    
         (If you got libevent from the git repository, you will
          first need to run the included "autogen.sh" script in order to
          generate the configure script.)
    
    Install as root via
    
    # make install
    
    You can run the regression tests by running
    
    $ make verify
    
    Before, reporting any problems, please run the regression tests.
    
    To enable the low-level tracing build the library as:
    
       CFLAGS=-DUSE_DEBUG ./configure [...]
    
    Standard configure flags should work.  In particular, see:
    
       --disable-shared          Only build static libraries
       --prefix                  Install all files relative to this directory.
    
    
    The configure script also supports the following flags:
    
       --enable-gcc-warnings     Enable extra compiler checking with GCC.
       --disable-malloc-replacement
                                 Don't let applications replace our memory
                                 management functions
       --disable-openssl         Disable support for OpenSSL encryption.
       --disable-thread-support  Don't support multithreaded environments.
