This commit replaces the map-based CommittedUpdates field with a slice.
When reading from disk, these will already be sorted by bbolt, so the
client restore the updates as presented without needing to sort them
first.
Since the key in the map variant was the sequence number, we refactor
the CommittedUpdate struct to have a sequence number and an embedded
CommittedUpdateBody (which is equivalent to the old CommittedUpdate).
The database is then expected to populate the sequence number from the
key on disk.
Since the sequence number is now directly integrated in the
CommittedUpdate struct, this allow allows us to remove the now redundant
seqNum argument from CommitUpdate.
This commit renames the variables dbName to towerDBName and dbVersions
to towerDBVersions, to distinguish between the upcoming clientDBName
clientDBVersions. We also move resusable portions of the database
initialization and default endianness to its own file so that it can be
shared between both tower and client databases.
This commit upgrades the protobuf version. Compared to the previous
v1.2.0 it generates smaller diffs in generated code. This change was
introduced in:

The previous value was set to two days, which may not be enough to
handle large fee spikes where users still which to submit channels with
a low fee and don't mind lowering their time preference. Since the
timeout is only applied to channels that we don't initiate, there's real
downside since it's not our funds that are locked up.
In this commit we move handing the deobfuscator from the router to the
switch from when the payment is initiated, to when the result is
queried.
We do this because only the router can recreate the deobfuscator after a
restart, and we are preparing for being able to handle results across
restarts.
Since the deobfuscator cannot be nil anymore, we can also get rid of
that special case.
This lets us distinguish an critical error from a actual payment result
(success or failure). This is important since we know that we can only
attempt another payment when a final result from the previous payment
attempt is received.
With the following commits, it'll become important to not resuse
paymentIDs, since there is no way to tell whether the HTLC in question
has already been forwarded and settled/failed.
We clarify this in the SendHTLC comments, and alter the tests to not
attempt to resend an HTLC with a duplicate payment ID.
This commit moves the responsibility of generating a unique payment ID
from the switch to the router. This will make it easier for the router
to keep track of which HTLCs were successfully forwarded onto the
network, as it can query the switch for existing HTLCs as long as the
paymentIDs are kept.
The router is expected to maintain a map from paymentHash->paymentID,
such that they can be replayed on restart. This also lets the router
check the status of a sent payment after a restart, by querying the
switch for the paymentID in question.
