8fa2b95c12 lnd: remove seelog logger
The btclog package has been changed to defining its own logging
interface (rather than seelog's) and provides a default implementation
for callers to use.

There are two primary advantages to the new logger implementation.

First, all log messages are created before the call returns.  Compared
to seelog, this prevents data races when mutable variables are logged.

Second, the new logger does not implement any kind of artifical rate
limiting (what seelog refers to as "adaptive logging").  Log messages
are outputted as soon as possible and the application will appear to
perform much better when watching standard output.

Because log rotation is not a feature of the btclog logging
implementation, it is handled by the main package by importing a file
rotation package that provides an io.Reader interface for creating
output to a rotating file output.  The rotator has been configured
with the same defaults that btcd previously used in the seelog config
(10MB file limits with maximum of 3 rolls) but now compresses newly
created roll files.  Due to the high compressibility of log text, the
compressed files typically reduce to around 15-30% of the original
10MB file.

routing: abandon ChainNotifier for FilteredChainView
This commit modifies the routing package to no longer use the
ChainNotifier for pruning the channel graph. Instead, we now use the
FilteredChainView interface to more (from the ChannelRouter’s PoV)
efficiently maintain the channel graph.

Rather than scanning the _entire_ block manually, we now rely on the
FilteredChainView to provide us with FilteredBlocks which include
_only_ the relevant transactions that we care about.

routing: rewrite package to conform to BOLT07 and factor in fees+timelocks
This commit overhauls the routing package significantly to simplify the
code, conform to the rest of the coding style within the package, and
observe the new authenticated gossiping scheme outlined in BOLT07.

As a major step towards a more realistic path finding algorithm, fees
are properly calculated and observed during path finding. If a path has
sufficient capacity _before_ fees are applied, but afterwards the
finalized route would exceed the capacity of a single link, the route
is marked as invalid.

Currently a naive weighting algorithm is used which only factors in the
time-lock delta at each hop, thereby optimizing for the lowest time
lock. Fee calculation also isn’t finalized since we aren’t yet using
milli-satoshi throughout the daemon. The final TODO item within the PR
is to properly perform a multi-path search and rank the results based
on a summation heuristic rather than just return the first (out of
many) route found.

On the server side, once nodes are initially connected to the daemon,
our routing table will be synced with the peer’s using a naive “just
send everything scheme” to hold us over until I spec out some a
efficient graph reconciliation protocol. Additionally, the routing
table is now pruned by the channel router itself once new blocks arrive
rather than depending on peers to tell us when a channel flaps or is
closed.

Finally, the validation of peer announcements aren’t yet fully
implemented as they’ll be implemented within the pending discovery
package that was blocking on the completion of this package. Most off
the routing message processing will be moved out of this package and
into the discovery package where full validation will be carried out.
