router: convert Route.ToHopPayloads() to Route.ToSphinxPath()
In this commit, we update the process that we use to generate a sphinx
packet to send our onion routed HTLC. Due to recent changes in the
`sphinx` package we use, we now need to use a new PaymentPath struct. As
a result, it no longer makes sense to split up the nodes in a route and
their per hop paylods as they're now in the same struct. All tests have
been updated accordingly.

routing: prune channels with disabled bit set on both edges
In this commit, we add an additional heuristic when running with
AssumeChannelValid. Since AssumeChannelValid being present assumes that
we're not able to quickly determine whether channels are valid, we also
assume that any channels with the disabled bit set on both sides are
considered zombie. This should be relatively safe to do, since the
disabled bits are usually set when the channel is closed on-chain. In
the case that they aren't, we'll have to wait until both edges haven't
had a new update within two weeks to prune them.

routing: prune channels only if both edges are present
We do this to ensure we don't prune too aggressively, as it's possible
that we've only received the channel announcement for a channel, but not
its accompanying channel updates.

routing: remove route cache
This commit removes the QueryRoutes route cache. It is causing wrong
routes to be returned because not all of the request parameters are
stored.

The cache allowed high frequency QueryRoutes calls to the same
destination and with the same amount to be returned fast. This behaviour
can also be achieved by caching the request on the client side. In case
a route is invalidated because of for example a channel update,
the subsequent SendToRoute call will fail. This is a trigger to call
QueryRoutes again for a fresh route.

routing: take Vertex types as path finding source and target nodes
Currently public keys are represented either as a 33-byte array (Vertex) or as a
btcec.PublicKey struct. The latter isn't useable as index into maps and
cannot be used easily in compares. Therefore the 33-byte array
representation is used predominantly throughout the code base.

This commit converts the argument types of source and target nodes for
path finding to Vertex. Path finding executes no crypto operations and
using Vertex simplifies the code.

Additionally, it prepares for the path finding source parameter to be
exposed over rpc in a follow up commit without requiring conversion back
and forth between Vertex and btcec.PublicKey.

multi: partition lnwire.ChanUpdateFlag into ChannelFlags and MessageFlags
In this commit:

* we partition lnwire.ChanUpdateFlag into two (ChanUpdateChanFlags and
ChanUpdateMsgFlags), from a uint16 to a pair of uint8's

* we rename the ChannelUpdate.Flags to ChannelFlags and add an
additional MessageFlags field, which will be used to indicate the
presence of the optional field HtlcMaximumMsat within the ChannelUpdate.

* we partition ChannelEdgePolicy.Flags into message and channel flags.
This change corresponds to the partitioning of the ChannelUpdate's Flags
field into MessageFlags and ChannelFlags.

lnrpc+routing: fix issues with missing data in unmarshallRoute
In this commit the dependency of unmarshallRoute on edge policies being
available is removed. Edge policies may be unknown and reported as nil.
SendToRoute does not need the policies, but it does need pubkeys of the
route hops. In this commit, unmarshallRoute is modified so that it
takes the pubkeys from edgeInfo instead of channelEdgePolicy.

In addition to this, the route structure is simplified. No more connection
to the database at that point. Fees are determined based on incoming and
outgoing amounts.

routing+server: add new QueryBandwidth method to reduce outbound failures
In this commit, we introduce a new method to the channel router's config
struct: QueryBandwidth. This method allows the channel router to query
for the up-to-date available bandwidth of a particular link. In the case
that this link emanates from/to us, then we can query the switch to see
if the link is active (if not bandwidth is zero), and return the current
best estimate for the available bandwidth of the link. If the link,
isn't one of ours, then we can thread through the total maximal
capacity of the link.

In order to implement this, the missionControl struct will now query the
switch upon creation to obtain a fresh bandwidth snapshot. We take care
to do this in a distinct db transaction in order to now introduced a
circular waiting condition between the mutexes in bolt, and the channel
state machine.

The aim of this change is to reduce the number of unnecessary failures
during HTLC payment routing as we'll now skip any links that are
inactive, or just don't have enough bandwidth for the payment. Nodes
that have several hundred channels (all of which in various states of
activity and available bandwidth) should see a nice gain from this w.r.t
payment latency.

In this commit, we modify our path finding algorithm to take an

These edges should assist the sender of a payment in successfully

These edges should usually represent private channels, as they are not
publicly advertised to the network for routing.

routing: weight findPath more heavily towards fees during edge relaxation
In this commit, we modify the edgeWeight function that’s used within
the findPath method to weight fees more heavily than the time lock
value at an edge. We do this in order to greedily prefer lower fees
during path finding. This is a simple stop gap in place of more complex
weighting parameters that will be investigated later.

We also modify the edge distance to use an int64 rather than a float.
Finally an additional test has been added in order to excessive this
new change. Before the commit, the test was failing as we preferred the
route with lower total time lock.

routing: account for case where final destination send TemporaryChannelFailure
In this commit, we fix an existing bug that could cause lnd to crash if
we sent a payment, and the *destination* sent a temp channel failure
error message. When handling such a message, we’ll look in the nextHop
map to see which channel was *after* the node that sent the payment.
However, if the destination sends this error, then there’ll be no entry
in this map.

To address this case, we now add a prevHop map. If we attempt to lookup
a node in the nextHop map, and they don’t have an entry, then we’ll
consult the prevHop map.

We also update the set of tests to ensure that we’re properly setting
both the prevHop map and the nextHop map.

39a59bbe6f routing: Require adding edge to node before adding node.
This commit introduces the requirement specified in BOLT#7,
where we ignore any node announcements for a specific node
if we yet haven't seen any channel announcements where this
node takes part. This is to prevent someone DoS-ing the
network with cheap node announcements. In the router this
is enforced by requiring a call to AddNode(node_id) to
be preceded by an AddEdge(edge_id) call, where node_id is
one of the nodes in edge_id.

* channeldb.ChannelPolicy
* channeldb.NodeLightning

Responsibilities:
* send topology notification
* find payment paths
* send payment
* apply topology changes to the graph
* prune graph
* validate that funding point exist and corresponds to given one
* to be the source of topology data

Discovery package:
Entities:
* lnwire.AnnounceSignature
* lnwire.ChannelAnnouncement
* lnwire.NodeAnnouncement
* lnwire.ChannelUpdateAnnouncement

Responsibilities:
* validate announcement signatures
* sync topology with newly connected peers
* handle the premature annoucement
* redirect topology changes to the router susbsystem
* broadcast announcement to the rest of the network
* exchange channel announcement proofs

Before that moment all that was in the 'routing' which is quite big for
one subsystem.

routing: add findPaths function whcih implements Yen's Algorithm
With this commit we make our routing more robust by looking for the
k-shortest paths rather than a single shortest path and using that
unconditionally. In a nut shell Yen’s algorithm does the following:
   * Find the shortest path from the source to the destination
   * From k=1…K, walk the kth shortest path and find possible
divergence from each node in the path

Our version of Yen’s implemented is slightly modified, rather than
actually increasing the edge weights or remove vertexes from the graph,
we instead use two black-lists: one for edges and the other for
vertexes. Our modified version of Djikstra’s algorithm is then made
aware of these black lists in order to more efficiently implement the
path iteration via spur and root node.

routing: rename findRoute to findPath, return path in forwards order
This commit modifies the findRoute method by first calling it findPath,
but also making the following modifications.

First, two new black-listing maps are now passed in. These two maps
contain vertexes but also edges to ignore while performing path
finding. These maps will be used in order to ensure that we don’t
duplicate paths or back-track when executing our KSP algorithm.

Next, we now ensure that the path returned from the findPath function
is ordered properly in the direction of source to target. Such a change
is required for our KSP algorithm to function properly.

routing: findRoute now returns a slice of selected hops in reverse order
This commit modifies the findRoute function to decouple the
validation+creation of a route, from the path finding algorithm itself.
When we say “route”, we mean the full payment route complete with
time-lock and fee information. When we say “path” we simple mean an
ordered set of channel edges from one node to another target node.

With this commit we can now perform path finding independent of route
creation which will be needed in the up coming refactor to implement a
new modified k-shortest paths algorithm.

routing: modify findRoute to accept starting node as a paramter
This commit slightly modified findRoute to accept the node which should
be used as the starting point in our path finding algorithm. With this
change, as we move to a k-shortest paths algorithm this modification
will be needed as all of our path finding attempts won’t always
originate from a the same starting point.

routing: add sufficient link capacity to our relaxation condition
This commit modifies our modified version of Dijkstra's to include
sufficient link capacity within the algorithm’s relaxation condition.
With this change, we’ll now avoid exploring the graph in the direction
of a link that has insufficient capacity, allowing us to terminate path
finding more quickly.

routing: modify path finding routines use new EdgeInfo/EdgePolicy
This commit modifies the path finding routines to properly use the new
channel edge related API exposed by the database. Additionally, a new
type `ChannelHop` has been introduced which couples an edges routing
policy with the capacity and origin chain of the channel.

multi: update btcsuite API's to latest upstream changes
This commit makes a large number of minor changes concerning API usage
within the deamon to match the latest version on the upstream btcsuite
libraries.

The major changes are the switch from wire.ShaHash to chainhash.Hash,
and that wire.NewMsgTx() now takes a paramter indicating the version of
the transaction to be created.

routing: rewrite package to conform to BOLT07 and factor in fees+timelocks
This commit overhauls the routing package significantly to simplify the
code, conform to the rest of the coding style within the package, and
observe the new authenticated gossiping scheme outlined in BOLT07.

As a major step towards a more realistic path finding algorithm, fees
are properly calculated and observed during path finding. If a path has
sufficient capacity _before_ fees are applied, but afterwards the
finalized route would exceed the capacity of a single link, the route
is marked as invalid.

Currently a naive weighting algorithm is used which only factors in the
time-lock delta at each hop, thereby optimizing for the lowest time
lock. Fee calculation also isn’t finalized since we aren’t yet using
milli-satoshi throughout the daemon. The final TODO item within the PR
is to properly perform a multi-path search and rank the results based
on a summation heuristic rather than just return the first (out of
many) route found.

On the server side, once nodes are initially connected to the daemon,
our routing table will be synced with the peer’s using a naive “just
send everything scheme” to hold us over until I spec out some a
efficient graph reconciliation protocol. Additionally, the routing
table is now pruned by the channel router itself once new blocks arrive
rather than depending on peers to tell us when a channel flaps or is
closed.

Finally, the validation of peer announcements aren’t yet fully
implemented as they’ll be implemented within the pending discovery
package that was blocking on the completion of this package. Most off
the routing message processing will be moved out of this package and
into the discovery package where full validation will be carried out.
