In automated or unattended setups such as cluster/container
environments, unlocking the wallet through RPC presents a set of
challenges. Usually the password is present as a file somewhere in the
container already anyway so we might also just read it from there.
This commit also changes the order of DB init to be run after the RPC
server is up. This will allow us to later add an RPC endpoint to be used
to query leadership status.
The --profile flag now accepts both a port and a host:port string.
If profile is set to a port, then pprof debugging information will
be served over localhost. Otherwise, we will attempt to serve pprof
information on the specified host:port (if we are allowed to listen
on it.)
We default to the safe option as if the port is connectable, anybody
can connect and see debugging information.

This commit adds a new config option: "--coop-close-target-confs"
which allows a user to override the default target confirmations of 6
that is used to estimate a fee rate to use during a co-op closure
initiated by a remote peer.
A new top level feeurl option was added recently to replace the neutrino.feeurl
option. The new option was never added to the sample config file and the
text was never updated to reflect that the option is required for
neutrino on mainnet. We fix this and also add a valid mainnet example
URL to the sample config file.
This commit caps the update fee the initiator will send when the anchors
channel type is used. We do not limit anything on the receiver side.
10 sat/vbyte is the current default max fee rate we use. This should be
enough to ensure propagation before anchoring down the commitment
transaction.
In certain container set ups, it's useful to optionally have lnd just shutdown if it detects that its certs are expired, as assuming there's a hypervisor to restart the container/pod, then upon restart, lnd will have fully up to date certs.
To allow nodes more control over the amount of time that their funds
will be locked up, we add a MaxLocalCSVDelay option which sets the
maximum csv delay we will accept for all channels. We default to the
existing constant of 10000, and set a sane minimum on this value so that
clients cannot set unreasonably low maximum csv delays which will result
in their node rejecting all channels.
To make it possible to request a Let's Encrypt certificate by using a
different IP address where the port 80 might still be free, we add the
IP part to its configuration as well instead of just the port.
This makes it possible to use an IPv6 address for the ACME request if
all available IPv4 addresses already have their port 80 occupied.
With this commit we make sure that all directories where lnd could
potentially want to write files to are created on startup. This fixes
the case where the lnddir isn't set but all other paths point to
explicit locations with non-existend parent directories.
We don't create the log dir as that's done by the log rotator already.
