This commit adds a new RPC to the RPC server: “sendcoins”. This RPC is
identical to “sendmany” with one small change: the level of send
parallelization is 1. This is useful when one wishes to simply send
coins to a friend and/or a payment.
This commit adds the necessary plumbing within the server, peer, and
rpcServer to handle opening and cooperatively closing a channel with a
remote peer.
Many new data structures have been added to the peer in order to allow
it to efficiently manage opening+.losing new/existing lightning
channels. Additional documentation has been added to several methods
within the peer struct, with some minor renaming along with way. The
peer has also gained a dedicated goroutine whose job it is to manage
any requests pertaining to opening, or closing any channels with the
remote peer.
The messages have been added to lnrpc define the requests and responses
to channel open+close messages. Additional channel logic has been added
between the rpcServer, peer, and server in order to properly manage the
necessary synchronization.
The new available address types are: regular p2pkh, p2wkh, and finally
p2wkh nested within p2sh. The latter address type will initially be
used to allow users to “fund” the lnd wallet.
