In this commit, we introduce the ability to bump the fee of an input
within the UtxoSweeper. Once its fee rate is bumped, a replacement
transaction (RBF) will be broadcast with the newer fee rate (assuming
the newer fee rate is high enough to be valid), replacing any
conflicting lower fee rate transactions.
Note that this currently doesn't validate the fee preference of the
bump. This responsibility is delegated to the caller, so care must be
taken to ensure the new fee preference is sufficient.
In this commit, we address another issue that arose with the
introduction of the fee rate buckets. We'll use an example to explain
the problem space:
Let's say we have inputs A, B, and C within the same fee rate bucket. If
A's fee rate is bumped to a higher bucket, then it's currently possible
for the lower fee rate bucket to be swept first, which would produce an
invalid RBF transaction since we're removing an input from the original
without providing a higher fee. By the time we get to the higher fee
rate bucket, we broadcast a valid RBF transaction _only_ sweeping input
A, which would evict the transaction sweeping inputs B and C from the
mempool.
To prevent this eviction, we can simply broadcast the higher fee rate
sweep transactions first, to ensure we have valid RBF transactions.
In this commit, we introduce support for arbitrary client fee
preferences when accepting input sweep requests. This is possible with
the addition of fee rate buckets. Fee rate buckets are buckets that
contain inputs with similar fee rates within a specific range, e.g.,
1-10 sat/vbyte, 11-20 sat/vbyte, etc. Having these buckets allows us to
batch and sweep inputs from different clients with similar fee rates
within a single transaction, allowing us to save on chain fees.
With this addition, we can now get rid of the UtxoSweeper's default fee
preference. As of this commit, any clients using the it to sweep inputs
specify the same fee preference to not change their behavior. Each of
these can be fine-tuned later on given their use cases.
This commit is a step to split the lnwallet package. It puts the Input
interface and implementations in a separate package along with all their
dependencies from lnwallet.
In this commit, we update the `getInputWitnessSizeUpperBound` and all
its callers to be aware of nested p2sh witness inputs. We do so by
adding another bool which is true if the output is a nested p2sh output.
If so, then in order to properly estimate the total weight, the caller
needs to factor in the non-witness data of the additional sigScript data
push.
