This commit adds full support for multi-hop onion routed payments
within the daemon.
The switch has been greatly extended in order to gain the functionality
required to manage Sphinx payment circuits amongst active links. A
payment circuit is initiated when a link sends an HTLC add to the
downstream htlcSwitch it received from the upstream peer. The switch
then examines the parsed sphinx packet to set up the clear/settle ends
of the circuit. Created circuits can be re-used amongst HTLC payments
which share the same RHash.
All bandwidth updates within a link’s internal state are now managed
with atomic increments/decrements in order to avoid race conditions
amongst the two goroutines the switch currently uses.
Each channel’s htlcManager has also been extended to parse out the
next-hop contained within Sphinx packets, and construct a proper
htlcPkt such that the htlcSwitch can initiate then manage the payment
circuit.
This commit extends the existing invoiceRegistry functionality to wrap
the on-disk invoices available via the channeldb with an in-memory
cache on invoices. Currently the in-memory cache is only reserved for
the storage of special “debug” invoices which all nodes are able to
settle immediately.
This commit introduces the invoice registry which is a central
repository of all outstanding invoices related to the daemon.
This registry will be used by the goroutines which manage the htlc’s
for a particular channel, and later by the point-to-point workflow
which negotiates the conditions for payment along with signed recipes.
