routing: convert to node pair based
Previously mission control tracked failures on a per node, per channel basis.
This commit changes this to tracking on the level of directed node pairs. The goal
of moving to this coarser-grained level is to reduce the number of required
payment attempts without compromising payment reliability.

routing: move second chance logic into mission control
If nodes return a channel policy related failure, they may get a second
chance. Our graph may not be up to date. Previously this logic was
contained in the payment session.

This commit moves that into global mission control and thereby removes
the last mission control state that was kept on the payment level.

Because mission control is not aware of the relation between payment
attempts and payments, the second chance logic is no longer based
tracking second chances given per payment.

Instead a time based approach is used. If a node reports a policy
failure that prevents forwarding to its peer, it will get a second
chance. But it will get it only if the previous second chance was
long enough ago.

Also those second chances are no longer dependent on whether an
associated channel update is valid. It will get the second chance
regardless, to prevent creating a dependency between mission control and
the graph. This would interfer with (future) replay of history, because
the graph may not be the same anymore at that point.

multi: make GetPaymentResult take payment hash
Used for logging in the switch, and when we remove the pending payments,
only the router will have the hash stored across restarts.

channeldb+routing: move control tower interface to routing
This commit creates an empty shall for control tower in the routing
package. It is a preparation for adding event notification.

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/router_test: add TestRouterPaymentStateMachine
TestRouterPaymentStateMachine tests that the router interacts as
expected with the ControlTower during a payment lifecycle, such that it
payment attempts are not sent twice to the switch, and results are
handled after a restart.

htlcswitch+router: move deobfuscator creation to GetPaymentResult call
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.

htlcswitch+router: define PaymentResult, GetPaymentResult
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.

switch+router+server: move NextPaymentID to router
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.

routing/router: define PaymentAttemptDispatcher interface
The switch satisfies this interface, and makes it easy to mock the send
method from the router.
