config+rpc: create new generalized dynamic sub rpc server config framework In this commit, we add the glue infrastructure to make the sub RPC server system work properly. Our high level goal is the following: using only the lnrpc package (with no visibility into the sub RPC servers), the RPC server is able to find, create, run, and manage the entire set of present and future sub RPC servers. In order to achieve this, we use the reflect package and build tags heavily to permit a loosely coupled configuration parsing system for the sub RPC servers. We start with a new `subRpcServerConfigs` struct which is _always_ present. This struct has its own group, and will house a series of sub-configs, one for each sub RPC server. Each sub-config is actually gated behind a build flag, and can be used to allow users on the command line or in the config to specify arguments related to the sub-server. If the config isn't present, then we don't attempt to parse it at all, if it is, then that means the RPC server has been registered, and we should parse the contents of its config. The `subRpcServerConfigs` struct has two main methods: `PopulateDependancies` and `FetchConfig`. The `PopulateDependancies` is used to dynamically locate and set the config fields for each new sub-server. As the config may not actually have any fields (if the build flag is off), we use the reflect pacakge to determine if things are compiled in or not, then if so, we dynamically set each of the config parameters. The `PopulateDependancies` method implements the `lnrpc.SubServerConfigDispatcher` interface. Our goal is to allow sub servers to look up their actual config in this main config struct. We achieve this by using reflect to look up the target field _as if it were a key in a map_. If the field is found, then we check if it has any actual attributes (it won't if the build flag is off), if it is, then we return it as we expect it to be populated already.
