In this commit:
* we partition lnwire.ChanUpdateFlag into two (ChanUpdateChanFlags and
ChanUpdateMsgFlags), from a uint16 to a pair of uint8's
* we rename the ChannelUpdate.Flags to ChannelFlags and add an
additional MessageFlags field, which will be used to indicate the
presence of the optional field HtlcMaximumMsat within the ChannelUpdate.
* we partition ChannelEdgePolicy.Flags into message and channel flags.
This change corresponds to the partitioning of the ChannelUpdate's Flags
field into MessageFlags and ChannelFlags.

In this commit we fix a compatibility issue with other implementations.
Before this commit, when writing out an onion error that includes a
`ChannelUpdate` we would use the `MaxPayloadLength` to get the length to
encode. However, a recent update has modified that to be the max
`brontide` payload length as it's possible to pad out the message with
optional fields we're unaware of. As a result, we would always write out
a length of 65KB or so. This didn't effect our parser as we ignore the
length and decode the channel update directly as we don't need the
length to do that. However, other implementations depended on the length
rather than just reading the channel update, meaning that they weren't
able to decode our onion errors that had channel updates.
In this commit we fix that by introducing a new
`writeOnionErrorChanUpdate` which will write out the precise length
instead of using the max payload size.
Fixes#2450.
In this commit, we add a new field to all the existing gossip messages:
ExtraOpqueData. We do this, as before this commit, if we came across a
ChannelUpdate message with a set of optional fields, then we wouldn't be
able to properly parse the signatures related to the message. If we
never corrected this behavior, then we would violate the forwards
compatible principle we use when parsing existing messages.
As these messages can now be padded out to the max message size, we've
increased the MaxPayloadLength value for all of these messages.
Fixes#1814.
In this commit, we add a compatibility mode for older version of
clightning to ensure that we're able to properly parse all their channel
updates. An older version of c-lightning would send out encapsulated
onion error message with an additional type byte. This would throw off
our parsing as we didn't expect the type byte, and so we always 2 bytes
off. In order to ensure that we're able to parse these messages and make
adjustments to our path finding, we'll first check to see if the type
byte is there, if so, then we'll snip off two bytes from the front and
continue with parsing. if the bytes aren't found, then we can proceed as
normal and parse the request.
In this commit onion routing error from BOLT#4 have been added, the
initial error construction have been splitted on two parts: The first
part which contains the actual data will reside inside the lnwire
package because it contains all necessary function to decode/encode
the data. The second part obfuscation and hmac checking will resides
inside the lighting-onion package because it requires the key
generation.
