routing: add new NewPaymentSessionFromRoutes function instead of interface
In this commit, we modify the recent refactoring of the mission control
sub-system to overload the existing payment session, rather than create
a brand new one. This allows us to re-use more of the existing logic, and
also feedback into mission control the failures incurred by any user
selected routes.

routing+server: add new QueryBandwidth method to reduce outbound failures
In this commit, we introduce a new method to the channel router's config
struct: QueryBandwidth. This method allows the channel router to query
for the up-to-date available bandwidth of a particular link. In the case
that this link emanates from/to us, then we can query the switch to see
if the link is active (if not bandwidth is zero), and return the current
best estimate for the available bandwidth of the link. If the link,
isn't one of ours, then we can thread through the total maximal
capacity of the link.

In order to implement this, the missionControl struct will now query the
switch upon creation to obtain a fresh bandwidth snapshot. We take care
to do this in a distinct db transaction in order to now introduced a
circular waiting condition between the mutexes in bolt, and the channel
state machine.

The aim of this change is to reduce the number of unnecessary failures
during HTLC payment routing as we'll now skip any links that are
inactive, or just don't have enough bandwidth for the payment. Nodes
that have several hundred channels (all of which in various states of
activity and available bandwidth) should see a nice gain from this w.r.t
payment latency.

routing: modify findPath to take into account additional edges
In this commit, we modify our path finding algorithm to take an
additional set of edges that are currently not known to us that are
used to temporarily extend our graph with during a payment session.
These edges should assist the sender of a payment in successfully
constructing a path to the destination.

These edges should usually represent private channels, as they are not
publicly advertised to the network for routing.

routing: add additionalEdges field to a missionControl's paymentSession
In this commit, we introduce the ability for payment sessions to store
an additional set of edges that can be used to assist a payment in
successfully reaching its destination.

routing: account for case where final destination send TemporaryChannelFailure
In this commit, we fix an existing bug that could cause lnd to crash if
we sent a payment, and the *destination* sent a temp channel failure
error message. When handling such a message, we’ll look in the nextHop
map to see which channel was *after* the node that sent the payment.
However, if the destination sends this error, then there’ll be no entry
in this map.

To address this case, we now add a prevHop map. If we attempt to lookup
a node in the nextHop map, and they don’t have an entry, then we’ll
consult the prevHop map.

We also update the set of tests to ensure that we’re properly setting
both the prevHop map and the nextHop map.

routing: add new paymentSession companion struct to missionControl
In this commit, we modify the pruning semantics of the missionControl
struct. Before this commit, on each payment attempt, we would fetch a
new graph pruned view each time. This served to instantly propagate any
detected failures to all outstanding payment attempts. However, this
meant that we could at times get stuck in a retry loop if sends take a
few second, then we may prune an edge, try another, then the original
edge is now unpruned.

To remedy this, we now introduce the concept of a paymentSession. The
session will start out as a snapshot of the latest graph prune view.
Any payment failures are now reported directly to the paymentSession
rather than missionControl. The rationale for this is that
edges/vertexes pruned as result of failures will never decay for a
local payment session, only for the global prune view. With this in
place, we ensure that our set of prune view only grows for a session.

Fixes #536.

39d38da732 discovery: create deDupedAnnouncements struct in gosspier.go
For Part 1 of Issue #275. Create isolated private struct in
networkHandler goroutine that will de-duplicate
announcements added to the batch. The struct contains maps
for each of channel announcements, channel updates, and
node announcements to keep track of unique announcements.

The struct has a Reset method to reset stored announcements, an
AddMsg(lnwire.Message) method to add a new message to the current
batch, and a Batch method to return the set of de-duplicated
announcements.

Also fix a few minor typos.

routing: abstract path finding behind mission control
In this commit, from the PoV of the SendPayment method we now delegate
all path finding+verification to missionControl. This change doesn’t
materially affect anything, it simply expands the abstraction to make
way for future features that more heavily utilize mission control.

routing: introduce new missionControl system within ChannelRouter
This commit adds a new system within the ChannelRouter: missionControl.
The purpose of this system to is to act as a shared memory of sorts
between payment sending attempts, recording which edges/vertexes word
or didn’t work. Allowing execution attempts to pass on their iterative
knowledge of the graph to later attempts will reduce the number of
failures encountered, and generally lead to a better UX when sending
payments.

The current capabilities of missionControl are rather limited just to
introduce the new abstraction. Later follow up commits will also add
preferential treatment for reliable nodes, knowledge the impact that
target payments have on unbalancing the payment graph, etc.
