In this commit, we modify the interaction between the chanCloser
sub-system and the chain notifier all together. This fixes a series of
bugs as before this commit, we wouldn’t be able to detect if the remote
party actually broadcasted *any* of the transactions that we signed off
upon. This would be rejected to the user by having a “zombie” channel
close that would never actually be resolved.
Rather than the chanCloser watching for on-chain closes, we’ll now open
up a co-op close context to the chainWatcher (via a layer of
indirection via the ChainArbitrator), and report to it all possible
closes that we’ve signed. The chainWatcher will then be able to launch
a goroutine to properly update the database state once any of the
possible closure transactions confirms.
In this commit, we extend the chainWatcher to be able to automatically
detect co-op closes of the channel. With this change, it’s now fully
encompassed so able to detect all types of closes on-chain. We detect a
co-op close due to the sequence number being finalized, as well as
paying to us directly in a regular p2wkh-like output.
In this commit, we add a new struct to the package, the chainWatcher.
The duty of this struct is to replace the functionality that was
previously implemented by the closeObserver of each channel. Rather
than the source of notification being tied to the lifetime of a
particular object, it’s now delegated to a persistent object that will
be around for the entire lifetime of the channel (until it’s closed).
This will serve to greatly simplify the code, and eliminate a large
class of bugs.
