This commit adds a new configuration parameter to the deamon:
‘DebugHTLC’. When true, all outgoing HTLC’s sent via the RPC interface
will be sent paying to a special rHash value which all lnd nodes also
with the flag activated know the preimage to. Therefore all payments
sent to a 1-hop node will immediately be settled by that node.
By default, this flag is false, it it only intended to be used to
exercise local changes to 1-hop behavior manually.
This commit adds an option to pass in a raw hex-encoded rpc cert via
lnd’s configuration file. Such a change allows for programmatically
creating lnd nodes which can connect to an existing btcd instance
without requiring a file for the rpc cert to be specified.
Additionally, this commit makes the creation of an integration testing
harness easier.
With this commit, support for changing the target network (testnet,
simnet, etc) has been finalized. Previously a command line option was
present to swap networks, but the RPC port wouldn’t automatically be
updated to reflect the network.
