Subject: [PATCH] rpc: make NewWitnessAddress return np2wkh addresses
MIME-Version: 1.0

This commit modifies NewWitnessAddress to return nested p2wkh address.
We do this as this RPC call was put in place to be used within GUI’s to
allow users to deposit funds into their LN wallet. By using nested
p2wkh, we ensure that the generate address that can be used to directly
create channels.
