In this commit we add a new error: InvalidHtlcSigError. This error will
be returned when we're unable to validate an HTLC signature sent by the
remote party. This will allow other nodes to more easily debug _why_ the
signature was rejected.
Use sort.Slice in SignNextCommitment function in lnwallet/channel.go,
as part of the move to use new language features. Remove
sortableSignBatch type wrapper for slice of signJobs since it is
no longer needed to sort jobs according to their output indices.
Also fix a few minor typos in channel.go and sigpool.go.
This commit introduce a new struct which acts as a companion struct to
the channel state machine struct. With the new commitment state
machine, we require a signature to be signed and validated for each
outstanding non-trimmed HTLC within the commitment state. As it’s
possible to have hundreds of HTLC’s on a given commitment transaction,
rather than perform all ECDSA operations in serial, we instead aim to
parallelize the computation with a worker pool of sign+verify workers.
The two primary methods of the sigPool are SubmitVerifyBatch and
SubmitSignBatch which allow a caller to trigger an asynchronous job
execution when creating or validating a new commitment state.
