This commit implements the “pendingchannels” RPC within the rpcserver.
This RPC allows callers to receive details concerning the current
pending channels associated with the daemon. Pending channels are those
waiting for additional confirmations before they can be considered
opened/closed.
At the time of this commit, only open channels are shown. A future
commit will also add the confirmation updates, along with information
for close channels.
This commit adds the necessary plumbing within the server, peer, and
rpcServer to handle opening and cooperatively closing a channel with a
remote peer.
Many new data structures have been added to the peer in order to allow
it to efficiently manage opening+.losing new/existing lightning
channels. Additional documentation has been added to several methods
within the peer struct, with some minor renaming along with way. The
peer has also gained a dedicated goroutine whose job it is to manage
any requests pertaining to opening, or closing any channels with the
remote peer.
The messages have been added to lnrpc define the requests and responses
to channel open+close messages. Additional channel logic has been added
between the rpcServer, peer, and server in order to properly manage the
necessary synchronization.
This commit introduces the fundingManger which is used as a bridge
between the wallet’s internal ‘ChannelReservation’ workflow, and the
wire protocol’s funding messages.
The funding manger is responsible for progressing the workflow, and
communicating any errors generated during the workflow back to the
source peer.
