chainntnfs/bitcoindnotify: fix possible panic with lack of txindex
In this commit, we fix a recently introduced bug which can result in a
panic when bitcoind nodes without a txindex active are started. The
issue was that we would still defence the transaction's blockhash, which
would be nil if we detected that the backend didn't have the txindex
active.

chainntnfs: remove txindex requirement when registering notfications
Before this commit, we relied on the need of full nodes to enable the
transaction index. This allowed us to fetch historical details about
transactions in order to register and dispatch confirmation and spend
notifications.

This commit allows us to drop that requirement by providing a fallback
method to use when the transaction index is not enabled. This fallback
method relies on manually scanning blocks for the transactions
requested, starting from the earliest height the transactions could have
been included in, to the current height in the chain.

chainntnfs: add Updates channel field to ConfirmationEvent
In this commit, we add a new Updates channel to our ConfirmationEvent
struct. This channel will be used to deliver updates to a subscriber of
a confirmation notification. Updates will be delivered at every
incremental height of the chain with the number of confirmations
remaining for the transaction to be considered confirmed by the
subscriber.

chainntnfs/bitcoind: move NotifySpent to after recording the outpoint
This commit moves the call to the bitcoind backend to start watching an
outpoint for spentness to after we have recorded the outpoint in our
list of clients. This is done to avoid a race that we saw using the btcd
backend, and it is probable that it can also happen using bitcoind.

chainntnfs: ensure all block epoch notifications are sent *in order*
In this commit, we fix a lingering bug related to the way that we
deliver block epoch notifications to end users. Before this commit, we
would launch a new goroutine for *each block*. This was done in order
to ensure that the notification dispatch wouldn’t block the main
goroutine that was dispatching the notifications. This method archived
the goal, but had a nasty side effect that the goroutines could be
re-ordered during scheduling, meaning that in the case of fast
successive blocks, then notifications would be delivered out of order.
Receiving out of order notifications is either disallowed, or can cause
sub-systems that rely on these notifications to get into weird states.

In order to fix this issue, we’ll no longer launch a new goroutine to
deliver each notification to an awaiting client. Instead, each client
will now gain a concurrent in-order queue for notification delivery.
Due to the internal design of chainntnfs.ConcurrentQueue, the caller
should never block, yet the receivers will receive notifications in
order. This change solves the re-ordering issue and also minimizes the
number of goroutines that we’ll create in order to deliver block epoch
notifications.

chainntnfs: fix spend notification registration race condition
In this commit, we fix a race condition related to the way we attempt
to query to see if an outpoint has already been spent by the time it’s
registered within the ChainNotifier. If the transaction creating the
outpoint hasn’t made it into the mempool by the time we execute the
GetTxOut call, then we’ll attempt to query for the transaction itself.
In this case, if we query for the transaction, then the block hash
field will be empty as it hasn’t yet made it into a block. Under the
previous logic, we’d then attempt to force a rescan. This is an issue
as the forced rescan will fail since it’ll try to fetch the block hash
of all zeroes.

In this commit, we fix this issue by only entering this “fallback to
rescan” logic iff, the transaction has actually been mined.
