Now that packet failure is handled by the mailbox, we can now enforce
a delivery deadline and fail the packet if it the deadilne is exceeded.
This gives senders quicker feedback about tried routes, and allows them
to try alternative paths to the destination in the meantime.
This commit splits the packet courier internally into two distinct
queues, one for adds and one for settles+fails. This allows us to
prioritize HTLCs that will clear the commitment transaction and make
space for adds. Previously this responsibility was handled by the
overflow queue.
This commit moves the current logic for sending failures out of the link
and into the mailbox in preparation for our failing delayed htlcs. We do
so because the mailbox may need to fail packets while the link is
offline, and needs to be able to complete the task without member
methods on the link.
The src/dest terminology for routing packets is kind of confusing
because the source HTLC may not be the source of the packet for
settles/fails traversing the circuit in the opposite direction. This
changes the nomenclature to incoming/outgoing and always references
the HTLCs themselves.
In this commit, we add a new abstraction to the package: the mailBox.
The mailBox is a non-blocking, concurrent safe, in-order queue for
delivering messages to a given channelLink instance. With this
abstraction in place, we can now allow the switch to no longer launch a
new goroutine for each forwarded HTLC, or instantiated user payment.
