This commit switches the implementation of the open/close channel RPC’s
from a fully blocking synchronous model to one that’s async by default,
allowing callers to add a sync wrapper.
The new proto specs also allow for “updates” for the pending channels
in the form of new confirmations which progress the pending status of
the channel. At this point, only the final open/close updates have been
implemented. Obtaining confirmation notifications requires a bit of
re-working within the current ChainNotifier interface, thus this has
been deferred to a later time.
This commit adds the necessary plumbing within the server, peer, and
rpcServer to handle opening and cooperatively closing a channel with a
remote peer.
Many new data structures have been added to the peer in order to allow
it to efficiently manage opening+.losing new/existing lightning
channels. Additional documentation has been added to several methods
within the peer struct, with some minor renaming along with way. The
peer has also gained a dedicated goroutine whose job it is to manage
any requests pertaining to opening, or closing any channels with the
remote peer.
The messages have been added to lnrpc define the requests and responses
to channel open+close messages. Additional channel logic has been added
between the rpcServer, peer, and server in order to properly manage the
necessary synchronization.
This commit adds some cursory documentation along wit minor field
modifications to all messages which deal with adding HTLC’s, or
updating remote commitment transactions.
The messages for dual funding of channel is left purposefully
undocumented as all initial negotiations will be single funder by
default.
A revamp of the testing infrastructure of lnwire will be committed in
the near future.
