In our quest to move calls to the ControlTower into the main payment
lifecycle loop, we move the edge case of a too long route out of
createNewPaymentAttempt.
loop
To prepare for multiple in flight payment attempts, we move
checkpointing the payment attempt out of createNewPaymentAttempt and
into the main payment lifecycle loop.
We'll attempt to move all calls to the DB via the ControlTower into this
loop, so we can more easily handle them in sequence.

In preparation for doing pathfinding for routes sending a value less
than the total payment amount, we let the payment session take the max
amount to send and the fee limit as arguments to RequestRoute.
This commit moves supplying of the information in the LightningPayment
to the initialization of the paymentSession, away from every call to
RequestRoute.
Instead the paymentSession will store this information internally, as it
doesn't change between payment attempts.
This is done to rid the RequestRoute call of the LightingPayment
argument, as for SendToRoute calls, it is not needed to supply the next
route.
There is an alternative in routerrpc now. It doesn't support REST yet,
but the main rpc SendPayment with its bidirectional streaming isn't
usable via REST either.
SendPaymentSync still serves REST users and cannot be deprecated yet.
A PSBT funding flow consists of multiple steps. We add new RPC
messages that can trigger the underlying state machine to transition
to a new state. We also add new response messages that tell the
API user what the current state is.
In case the funding manager detects that a funding flow is requested
to be executed with the help of a PsbtIntent, the normal channel
negotiation with the remote peer is interrupted, as soon as the
accept_channel message was received. With the remote peer's funding
multisig key and our local key, we can derive the funding output
script and its address. This is enough to start the PSBT funding
and signing process which the user will do externally to the daemon.
We add a new funding assembler and intent type that handle channel
funding through the use of a PSBT. The PsbtIntent is in itself a
simple state machine that can be stepped through the process of
assembling the required information for the funding output, verifying
a user supplied PSBT for correctness, accepting a fully signed PSBT
and then assembling the funding wire message.
This commit lets the watchtower automatically create hidden services
by giving it a pointer to a TorController. The server was also slightly
refactored so that it was not the sole owner of the TorController.
