lnwallet: extend the WalletController with a new txn pub/sub client

This commit adds a new simple interface related to the WalletController
which allows for subscribing to new notifications as transactions
relevant to the wallet are seen on at the network and/or mined. The
TransactionSubscription interface will prove useful for building higher
level UI’s on-top of the daemon which update the presentation layer in
response to received notifications.
