This commit adds a linkError field to track the value of failures
which occur at our node. This field is set when local payments or
multi hop htlcs fail in the switch or on our outgoing link. This
addition is required for the addition of a htlc notifier which will
notify these failures in handleDownstreamPacket.
The passing of link error to failAddPacket removes the need for an
additional error field, because the link error's failure detail will
contain any additional metadata. In the places where the failure detail
does not cover all the metadata that was previously supplied by addr
err, the error is logged before calling failAddPacket so that this
change does not reduce the amount of information we log.
Add a FailureDetail interface which allows us have different kinds of
failures for link errors. This interface will be used to cover failures
that occur when on invoice payment, because the errors have already
been enumerated in the invoices package.
Rename FailureDetail in a separate commit so that a FailureDetail
interface can be introduced in the following commit.
OutgoingFailureOnionDecode is renamed to OutgoingFailureDecodeError
to specifically indicate that we could not decode the wire
failure that our payment experienced.
Add a CheckCircularForward function which detects packets which are
forwards over the same incoming and outgoing link, and errors if the
node is configured to disallow forwards of this nature. This check is
added to increase the cost of a liquidity lockup attack, because it
increases the length of the route required to lock up an individual
node's bandwidth. Since nodes are currently limited to 20 hops,
increasing the length of the route needed to lock up capital increases
the number of malicious payments an attacker will have to route, which
increases the capital requirement of the attack overall.
Update the ChannelLink interface to specifically
return the LinkError struct. This error implements
the ClearTextError interface, so will be picked
up as a routing realted error by the router.
With LinkErrors implemented, the switch now
returns a LinkError for all failures on our
incoming/outgoing link and ForwardingError when
the failure occurs down the line.
