- Provides clarity to the sample `lnd.conf` to reduce friction on a first-time mainnet set up of lnd (avoiding the `loadConfig: debug-htlc mode cannot be used on bitcoin mainnet` error)
- Removes `debughtlc` from the sample `lnd.conf` since it is not something most people would use anymore
- Adds link to `sample-lnd.conf` with proper line-wrapping
Every time I try to update lnd by following these instructions it fails. Most recently like this:
$ make
Compiling dependencies.
dep ensure -v
# Bringing vendor into sync
grouped write of manifest, lock and vendor: failed to export github.com/lightninglabs/neutrino: fatal: failed to unpack tree object 838f7ba74d217d188efc223604bd280b4e3f0238
: exit status 128
Makefile:116: recipe for target 'dep' failed
make: *** [dep] Error 1
I found that if I `make clean` before running `make` then it doesn't fail.
We will be slowly phasing this out, though abruptly
discontinuing support would be a more extensive change.
For now, we will ensure that this feature is not
recommended to users setting up a new wallet.
This commit satisfies the auto-build functionality desired in #722 without changing anything in the docker folder. This allows development and testing to continue to build and use images locally, but external users get a very lean Docker image they can use. The size difference is appreciable.

Right before merging this PR, an Automated Build repository should be configured on the appropriate account (lightningnetwork?) on Docker Hub with the name of lnd in order to match documentation.
I see there are already some repositories created, however I think best practice for Docker is to have a single repository and different tags for different architectures. The included image is based off of Alpine, but in the future we could extend into multiple Dockerfiles (example: ARM support, or being Ubuntu based).
So in this proposed scenario, lightningnetwork/lnd:latest would be alpine, but lightningnetwork/lnd:ubuntu would be an ubuntu-based image, for example.
(With thanks to @alingenhag for https://github.com/f-u-z-z-l-e/docker-lnd/ from which I borrowed heavily)
According to install.md, the minimum version of Go supported at the
moment is 1.9, so update the Go version referenced in Contribution
Checklist to 1.9 as well.
