routing: add findPaths function whcih implements Yen's Algorithm
With this commit we make our routing more robust by looking for the
k-shortest paths rather than a single shortest path and using that
unconditionally. In a nut shell Yen’s algorithm does the following:
   * Find the shortest path from the source to the destination
   * From k=1…K, walk the kth shortest path and find possible
divergence from each node in the path

Our version of Yen’s implemented is slightly modified, rather than
actually increasing the edge weights or remove vertexes from the graph,
we instead use two black-lists: one for edges and the other for
vertexes. Our modified version of Djikstra’s algorithm is then made
aware of these black lists in order to more efficiently implement the
path iteration via spur and root node.

routing: rename findRoute to findPath, return path in forwards order
This commit modifies the findRoute method by first calling it findPath,
but also making the following modifications.

First, two new black-listing maps are now passed in. These two maps
contain vertexes but also edges to ignore while performing path
finding. These maps will be used in order to ensure that we don’t
duplicate paths or back-track when executing our KSP algorithm.

Next, we now ensure that the path returned from the findPath function
is ordered properly in the direction of source to target. Such a change
is required for our KSP algorithm to function properly.

routing: findRoute now returns a slice of selected hops in reverse order
This commit modifies the findRoute function to decouple the
validation+creation of a route, from the path finding algorithm itself.
When we say “route”, we mean the full payment route complete with
time-lock and fee information. When we say “path” we simple mean an
ordered set of channel edges from one node to another target node.

With this commit we can now perform path finding independent of route
creation which will be needed in the up coming refactor to implement a
new modified k-shortest paths algorithm.

routing: modify findRoute to accept starting node as a paramter
This commit slightly modified findRoute to accept the node which should
be used as the starting point in our path finding algorithm. With this
change, as we move to a k-shortest paths algorithm this modification
will be needed as all of our path finding attempts won’t always
originate from a the same starting point.

routing: add sufficient link capacity to our relaxation condition
This commit modifies our modified version of Dijkstra's to include
sufficient link capacity within the algorithm’s relaxation condition.
With this change, we’ll now avoid exploring the graph in the direction
of a link that has insufficient capacity, allowing us to terminate path
finding more quickly.

routing: modify path finding routines use new EdgeInfo/EdgePolicy
This commit modifies the path finding routines to properly use the new
channel edge related API exposed by the database. Additionally, a new
type `ChannelHop` has been introduced which couples an edges routing
policy with the capacity and origin chain of the channel.

multi: update btcsuite API's to latest upstream changes
This commit makes a large number of minor changes concerning API usage
within the deamon to match the latest version on the upstream btcsuite
libraries.

The major changes are the switch from wire.ShaHash to chainhash.Hash,
and that wire.NewMsgTx() now takes a paramter indicating the version of
the transaction to be created.

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.
