routing: add new PayAttemptTimeout field to LightningPayment
In this commit, we add a new field to the LightningPayment struct:
PayAttemptTimeout. This new field allows the caller to control exactly
how much time should be spent attempting to route a payment to the
destination. The default value we’ll use is 60 seconds, but callers are
able to specify a diff value. Once the timeout has passed, we’ll
abandon th e payment attempt, and return an error back to the original
caller.

39a59bbe6f routing: Require adding edge to node before adding node.
This commit introduces the requirement specified in BOLT#7,
where we ignore any node announcements for a specific node
if we yet haven't seen any channel announcements where this
node takes part. This is to prevent someone DoS-ing the
network with cheap node announcements. In the router this
is enforced by requiring a call to AddNode(node_id) to
be preceded by an AddEdge(edge_id) call, where node_id is
one of the nodes in edge_id.

routing: reject channel announcement if connected vertexes are unknown
This commit modifies the processing in the routing package eo new
announcements. Previously,  if we cgot a cnew channel announcement but
didn’t yet know of the verses that the chanell connected, the
cnnounacment would be accepted. This behavior was eronoues as if the
channel were to be queried for, the DB query would fail as we would be
unable to retrieve the two nodes involved int he channel.

To avoid such an error case, we will now _reject_ any channel
announcements in which we don’t yet have a valid node announcement for
the connected nodes. This case has been inserted into the handling of
channel announcement, a new test has been added, and finally older
tests have also been updated to ensure that nodes are added to the
database _before_ the edge is.

b4ac7071ff discovery+routing: split 'routing' package on 'routing' and 'discovery'
In this commit the routing package was divided on two separete one,
this was done because 'routing' package start take too much responsibily
on themself, so with following commit:

Routing pacakge:
Enitites:
* channeldb.ChannelEdge
* channeldb.ChannelPolicy
* channeldb.NodeLightning

Responsibilities:
* send topology notification
* find payment paths
* send payment
* apply topology changes to the graph
* prune graph
* validate that funding point exist and corresponds to given one
* to be the source of topology data

Discovery package:
Entities:
* lnwire.AnnounceSignature
* lnwire.ChannelAnnouncement
* lnwire.NodeAnnouncement
* lnwire.ChannelUpdateAnnouncement

Responsibilities:
* validate announcement signatures
* sync topology with newly connected peers
* handle the premature annoucement
* redirect topology changes to the router susbsystem
* broadcast announcement to the rest of the network
* exchange channel announcement proofs

Before that moment all that was in the 'routing' which is quite big for
one subsystem.

routing: implement route failure fallback in SendPayment
This commit adds payment route failure fallback to SendPayment. By
this, we mean that we now take all the possible routes found during
path finding and try them in series. Either a route fails and we move
onto the next one, or the route is successful and we terminate early.

With this commit, sending payments using lnd is now much more robust as
if there exists an eligible route with sufficient capacity, it will be
utilized.

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.
