Also the max hop count check can be removed, because the real bound is
the payload size. By moving the check inside the search loop, we now
also backtrack when we hit the limit.
This commit adds an optional PaymentAddr field to the RestrictParams, so
that we can verify the final hop can support it before doing an
expensive round of pathfindig.
This commit modifies paymentLifecycle so that it not only feeds
failures into mission control, but successes as well.
This allows for more accurate probability estimates. Previously,
the success probability for a successful pair and a pair with
no history was equal. There was no force that pushed towards
previously successful routes.
This commit converts several functions from returning a bool and a
failure reason to a nillable failure reason as return parameter. This
will take away confusion about the interpretation of the two separate
values.
This commit moves the default timeout out of router and thereby fixes a
bug that caused SendToRoute to not return the actual error, but a
timeout result instead. SendToRoute only tries a single route, so a
timeout should never happen.
This commit makes the router use the ControlTower to drive the payment
life cycle state machine, to keep track of active payments across
restarts. This lets the router resume payments on startup, such that
their final results can be handled and stored when ready.
This encapsulates all state needed to resume a payment from any point of
the payment flow, and that must be shared between the different stages
of the execution. This is done to prepare for breaking the send loop
into smaller parts, and being able to resume the payment from any point
from persistent state.
