The linear analysis takes advantage of recent changes in WebConnectivity LTE to build a linear chain of observations where the entries at the beginning of the chain are from the latest redirect followed by the penultimate with the chain ending with observations from the initial request. Within each redirect, entries are sorted by type such that HTTP appears before TLS which appears before TCP which appears before DNS. Within each protocol, entries without errors sort before entries with errors. Finally, if two entries have the same redirect depth, protocol type and error, we sort using the transaction ID (which is enough to avoid making tests nondeterministic).

With this functionality, we should be able to write relatively easily an analysis algorithm for Web Connectivity LTE.

Part of ooni/probe#2634

We're introducing failure modes that do not exist hence it seems
this is not the correct way of moving forward.
I'm doing this mainly to explore whether we could have more
robust webconnectivity v0.5 analysis code
Because I am dropping the requests again, we break again the tests
with the redirects. I could possibly fix it by putting requests back
again but I am not super happy about doing this because that would
cause the DSL to do some strange work and I'd honestly rather not do this.
what remains to be done now is to make sure we make green all the
tests that are currently skipped

we also need to account for differences between the two
then next step is to sort out this mess :-)
(I am thankful there's a ~comprehensive test suite.)
this happens because LTE sucessfully handshakes with the wrong address
