This commit modifies the routing package to no longer use the
ChainNotifier for pruning the channel graph. Instead, we now use the
FilteredChainView interface to more (from the ChannelRouter’s PoV)
efficiently maintain the channel graph.
Rather than scanning the _entire_ block manually, we now rely on the
FilteredChainView to provide us with FilteredBlocks which include
_only_ the relevant transactions that we care about.
Change the name of fields of messages which are belong to the discovery
subsystem in a such way so they were the same with the names that are
defined in the specification.
Add usage of the 'discovery' package in the lnd, now discovery service
will be handle all lnwire announcement messages and send them to the
remote party.
In this commit the routing package was divided on two separete one,
this was done because 'routing' package start take too much responsibily
on themself, so with following commit:
Routing pacakge:
Enitites:
* channeldb.ChannelEdge
* 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.

This commit modifies address handling in the NodeAnnouncement struct,
switching from net.TCPAddr to []net.Addr. This enables more flexible
address handling with multiple types and multiple addresses for each
node. This commit addresses the first part of issue #131 .
This commit modifies the existing FindRoute method on the ChannelRouter
to now use the KSP implementation added in a prior commit.
This new method FindRoutes, is able to find all the possible paths
between a source and destination. The method takes all paths reported
by findPaths, and attempt to turn each of them into a route. A route
differs from a path in that is has complete time-lock and fee
information. Some paths may not be able to be turned into routes as
once fees are accounted for the have an insufficient flow. We then take
the routes, sort them by total fee (with time-lock being a
time-breaker), then return them in sorted order.
This commit modifies the `ChannelEdgeUpdate` struct to include the
channel point itself within the notifications. Such a change improves
the notificaiton experience for callers as it allows them to filter out
update notifications based on a familiar object within the codebase: a
channel point.
