7e6a34532e routing: add index map to distanceHeap
This commit adds the pubkeyIndices map to the distanceHeap to avoid
duplicate entries on the heap. This happened in the earlier iteration
of the findPath algorithm and would cause the driving loop to
evaluate already evaluated entries when there was no need.

61a1ab08fb routing+channeldb: findPath uses Vertex instead of LightningNode
This commit modifies the nodeWithDist struct to use a route.Vertex
instead of a *channeldb.LightningNode. This change, coupled with
the new ForEachNodeChannel function, allows the findPath Djikstra's
algorithm to cut down on database lookups since we no longer need
to call the FetchOtherNode function.

routing+routerrpc: expose mission control parameters in lnd config
This commit exposes the three main parameters that influence mission
control and path finding to the user as command line or config file
flags. It allows for fine-tuning for optimal results.

routing: global probability based mission control
Previously every payment had its own local mission control state which
was in effect only for that payment. In this commit most of the local
state is removed and payments all tap into the global mission control
probability estimator.

Furthermore the decay time of pruned edges and nodes is extended, so
that observations about the network can better benefit future payment
processes.

Last, the probability function is transformed from a binary output to a
gradual curve, allowing for a better trade off between candidate routes.

routing: use probability source in path finding
This PR replaces the previously used edge and node ignore lists in path
finding by a probability based system. It modifies path finding so that
it not only compares routes on fee and time lock, but also takes route
success probability into account.

Allowing routes to be compared based on success probability is achieved
by introducing a 'virtual' cost of a payment attempt and using that to
translate probability into another cost factor.

routing: fall back to edge MaxHTLC within findPath instead of Capacity
In this commit, we make our findPath function use an edge's MaxHTLC as
its available bandwidth instead of its Capacity. We do this as it's
possible for the capacity of an edge to not exist when operating as a
light client. For channels that do not support the MaxHTLC optional
field, we'll fall back to using the edge's Capacity.

routing: take Vertex types as path finding source and target nodes
Currently public keys are represented either as a 33-byte array (Vertex) or as a
btcec.PublicKey struct. The latter isn't useable as index into maps and
cannot be used easily in compares. Therefore the 33-byte array
representation is used predominantly throughout the code base.

This commit converts the argument types of source and target nodes for
path finding to Vertex. Path finding executes no crypto operations and
using Vertex simplifies the code.

Additionally, it prepares for the path finding source parameter to be
exposed over rpc in a follow up commit without requiring conversion back
and forth between Vertex and btcec.PublicKey.

multi: partition lnwire.ChanUpdateFlag into ChannelFlags and MessageFlags
In this commit:

* we partition lnwire.ChanUpdateFlag into two (ChanUpdateChanFlags and
ChanUpdateMsgFlags), from a uint16 to a pair of uint8's

* we rename the ChannelUpdate.Flags to ChannelFlags and add an
additional MessageFlags field, which will be used to indicate the
presence of the optional field HtlcMaximumMsat within the ChannelUpdate.

* we partition ChannelEdgePolicy.Flags into message and channel flags.
This change corresponds to the partitioning of the ChannelUpdate's Flags
field into MessageFlags and ChannelFlags.

routing/pathfind: pass ignore disable flags for local channels
To decouple our own path finding from the graph state, we don't consider

bandwidth hints will be zero for local inactive channels.

We alos modify the unit test to check that the disable flag is ignored
for local edges.

lnrpc+routing: fix issues with missing data in unmarshallRoute
In this commit the dependency of unmarshallRoute on edge policies being
available is removed. Edge policies may be unknown and reported as nil.
SendToRoute does not need the policies, but it does need pubkeys of the
route hops. In this commit, unmarshallRoute is modified so that it
takes the pubkeys from edgeInfo instead of channelEdgePolicy.

In addition to this, the route structure is simplified. No more connection
to the database at that point. Fees are determined based on incoming and
outgoing amounts.

b52796749f routing: new weight function
In this commit, a new weight function is introduced. This will create a
meaningful effect of time lock on route selection. Also, removes the
squaring of the fee term. This led to suboptimal routes.

Unit test added that covers the weight function and asserts that the
lowest fee route is indeed returned.

d4471878df routing: fix route fee calculation and channel capacity check
This commit fixes the logic inside the newRoute function to
address the following problems:

- Fee calculation for a hop does not include the fee that needs
  to be paid to the next hop.

- The incoming channel capacity "sanity" check does not include
  the fee to be paid to the current hop.

routing: fix bug in newRoute, use time lock delta of prior hop, not current
In this commit, we fix an existing bug in the newRoute method. Before
this commit we would use the time lock delta of the current hop to
compute the outgoing time lock for the current hop. This is incorrect as
the time lock delta of the _outgoing_ hop should be used, as this is
what we're paying for "transit" on. This is a bug left over from when we
switched the meaning of the CLTV delta on the ChannelUpdate message
sometime last year.

The fix is simple: use the CLTV delta of the prior (later in the route)
hop.

Add constant and percentage-based fee limits to payments

- newRoute function takes fee limit and cuts off routes that exceed it
- queryRoutes, payInvoice and sendPayment commands take the feeLimit inputs and pass them down to newRoute
- When no feeLimit is included, don't enforce any feeLimits at all (by setting feeLimit to maxValue)

routing+server: add new QueryBandwidth method to reduce outbound failures
In this commit, we introduce a new method to the channel router's config
struct: QueryBandwidth. This method allows the channel router to query
for the up-to-date available bandwidth of a particular link. In the case
that this link emanates from/to us, then we can query the switch to see
if the link is active (if not bandwidth is zero), and return the current
best estimate for the available bandwidth of the link. If the link,
isn't one of ours, then we can thread through the total maximal
capacity of the link.

In order to implement this, the missionControl struct will now query the
switch upon creation to obtain a fresh bandwidth snapshot. We take care
to do this in a distinct db transaction in order to now introduced a
circular waiting condition between the mutexes in bolt, and the channel
state machine.

The aim of this change is to reduce the number of unnecessary failures
during HTLC payment routing as we'll now skip any links that are
inactive, or just don't have enough bandwidth for the payment. Nodes
that have several hundred channels (all of which in various states of
activity and available bandwidth) should see a nice gain from this w.r.t
payment latency.

routing: modify findPath to take into account additional edges
In this commit, we modify our path finding algorithm to take an
additional set of edges that are currently not known to us that are
used to temporarily extend our graph with during a payment session.
These edges should assist the sender of a payment in successfully
constructing a path to the destination.

These edges should usually represent private channels, as they are not
publicly advertised to the network for routing.
