channeldb/graph: don't create node bucket in DeleteChannelEdge
Instead return ErrGraphNodeNotFound directly. If the node bucket was
created it would be empty, and the call delChannelByEdge ->
fetchChanEdgePolicies -> fetchChanEdgePolicy ->
deserializeChanEdgePolicy -> fetchLightningNode would return this error
anyway.

channeldb/graph: add method to determine if a node is public
In this commit, we add a method to the ChannelGraph struct that

In this commit, we account for the additional case wherein the
announcement hasn't yet been written with the extra zero byte to

channeldb: add limit on the max number of opaque bytes per announcement
In this commit, we add a new limit on the largest number of extra opaque
bytes that we'll allow to be written per vertex/edge. We do this in
order to limit the amount of disk space that we expose, as it's possible
that nodes may start to pad their announcements adding an additional
externalized cost as nodes may need to continue to store and relay these
large announcements.

channeldb/graph: dedup channel edges returned from ChanUpdatesInHorizon
In this commit, we ensure that we de-duplicate the set of channel edges
returned from ChanUpdatesInHorizon. Other subsystems within lnd use this
method to retrieve and send all the channels with updates within a time
series to network peers. However, since the method looks at the edge
update index, which can include up to two entries per edge for each
policy, it's possible that we'd send channel announcements and updates
twice, causing extra bandwidth.

channeldb/graph: properly determine old update timestamp for an edge
In this commit, we fix a lingering issue within the edge update index
where entries were not being properly pruned due to an incorrect
calculation of the offset of an edge's last update time. Since the
offset is being determined from the end to the start, we need to
subtract all the fields after an edge policy's last update time from the
total amount of bytes of the serialized edge policy to determine the
correct offset. This was also slightly off as the edge policy included
an extra byte, which has been fixed in the previous commit.

Instead of continuing the slicing approach however, we'll switch to
deserializing the raw bytes of an edge's policy to ensure this doesn't
happen in the future when/if the serialization methods change or extra
data is included.

channeldb/graph: fix off-by-one public key slice
In this commit, we fix an off-by-one error when slicing the public key
from the serialized node info byte slice. This would cause us to write
an extra byte to all edge policies. Even though the values were read
correctly, when attempting to calculate the offset of an edge's update
time going backwards, we'd always be incorrect, causing us to not
properly prune the edge update index.

channeldb: add String() method for EdgePoint
In this commit we fix a minor logging artifact. After the switch to
EdgePoint, the FilteredChainView implementations will try to log the
struct directly, as prior they would have an outpoint object. We restore
this behavior by adding a String() method to EdgePoint which will simply
proxy through to the outpoint so we can log that directly.

The commit ensures that for every channel, there will always

In this commit, we update the ChannelView method to be compatible with
the new set of interfaces that require the script to be passed in in
addition to the outpoint. In order to do this, we introduce a new
EdgePoint struct which packages together a channel point along with the
funding pkScript. Along the way, we've copied over a utility method from
the lnwallet package to avoid having to deal with an import cycle.

channeldb+routing: move adding shell nodes into db txn of AddChannelEdge
In this commit, we fix a slight race condition that can occur when we go
to add a shell node for a node announcement, but then right afterwards,
a new block arrives that causes us to prune an unconnected node. To
ensure this doesn't happen, we now add shell nodes within the same db
transaction as AddChannelEdge. This ensures that the state is fully
consistent and shell nodes will be added atomically along with the new
channel edge.

As a result of this change, we no longer need to add shell nodes within
the ChannelRouter, as the database will take care of this operation as
it should.

channeldb: fix bug in pruneGraphNodes by switching to using ref counting
In this commit, we fix an existing bug in the pruneGraphNodes method.
Before this commit, if a node was involved in a channel, but only one of
the edges was advertised, then either it, or the other node would be
erroneously pruned from the graph. They shouldn't be pruned as there's
still an edge connecting the, although only 1/2 of the edge is actually
advertised.

In order to fix this, we'll now do two passes: the first pass will
populate a ref count map of all known nodes in the graph, the second
pass will increment the ref count each time a node is found in the
graph. With this two pass method, we ensure that nodes are only deleted
if there are absolutely no edges pointing to them within the graph.

channeldb: ensure items from the update index are actually deleted
In this commit, we fix an existing bug in the new graph query sync
feature. Before this commit, when a block is pruned, we would never
actually delete the update index entries. This is due to the fact that
we would attempt to delete the entries from the update index _after_ we
had already removed the edges from the update index.

We fix this by simply swapping the order: first we delete from the
update index, then we delete the edges themselves. A test ensuring that
the entires are cleared (which failed before this commit), has been
added.

channeldb: add new methods required to implement new discovery.ChannelGraphTimeSeries interface
In this commit, we add a series of methods, and a new database index
that we'll use to implement the new discovery.ChannelGraphTimeSeries
interface interface. The primary change is that we now maintain two new
indexes tracking the last update time for each node, and the last update
time for each edge. These two indexes allow us to implement the
NodeUpdatesInHorizon and ChanUpdatesInHorizon methods. The remaining
methods added simply utilize the existing database indexes to allow us to
respond to any peer gossip range queries.

A set of new unit tests has been added to exercise the added logic.

In this commit, we made a series of modification to the way we handle

garbage generated:
  1. Properly use PubKeyBytes are required rather than PubKey()
  2. Return direct structs rather than pointers, and leave it to the

channeldb: use raw pub keys and signatures directly in vertex/edge structs
In this commit, we make an API change that’s meant to reduce the amount
of garbage we generate when doing pathfinding or syncing nodes with our
latest graph state. Before this commit, we would always have to fully
decode the public key and signatures when reading a edge or vertex
struct. For the edges, we may need several EC operations to fully
decode all the pubkeys. This has been seen to generate a ton of
garbage, as well as slow down path finding a good bit.

To remedy this, we’ll now only ever read the *raw* bytes from disk. In
the event that we actually need to verify a signature (or w/e), only
*then* will we fully decode everything.

channeldb: add DisconnectBlockAtHeight
This commit adds the method DisconnectBlockAtHeight to the channel
graph database, making it possible to "rewind" the database in case
a block is disconnected from the main chain. To accomplish this,
a prune log is introduced, making it possible to keep track of the
point in time where the database was pruned. This is necessary for
the case where lnd might wake up on a stale branch, and must "walk
backwards" on this branch after it finds a common block fro the
graph database and the new main chain.

channeldb: split ChannelEdge into two structs, info and policy
This commit splits the prior ChannelEdge struct into two distinct
structs: ChannelEdgeInfo and ChannelEdgePolicy. The info structs stores
the _full_ information that was used to advertise the channel, while
the policy struct contains the information that’s needed in order to

With this split we can eliminate a number of hacks within the rest of
the codebase that were added as a result of data unavailability if one
or neither edge was present.

Finally a bit of field renaming has taken place (Exipiry ->

multi: update btcsuite API's to latest upstream changes
This commit makes a large number of minor changes concerning API usage
within the deamon to match the latest version on the upstream btcsuite
libraries.

The major changes are the switch from wire.ShaHash to chainhash.Hash,
and that wire.NewMsgTx() now takes a paramter indicating the version of
the transaction to be created.

channeldb: don't return error from HasChannelEdge if single edge doesn't exist
This commit modifies the error propagating behavior within the
HasChannelEdge struct. Rather than exiting the function early when a
single edge isn’t found, we instead continue to also possibly retrieve
the second directional edge.

With this change, we avoid a potential infinite gossiping loop in the
routing package that would result if we’d seen one edge but not the
other. In this case the timestamps returned for *both* edges would
always be zero, causing the daemon to always accept and rebroadcast the
announcement putting all other connected lnd’s into the same loop.

channeldb: use a read-txn rather than a write-txn in FetchChannelEdgesByID
This commit modifies the FetchChannelEdgesByID slightly to use a
read-only transaction rather than a write-only transaction. As a result
we’ll no longer extraneously consume a writer’s slot when we’re only
reading data from the database.

channeldb: return true for HasChannelEdge unconditionally if edge exists
This commit modifies the HasChannelEdge function to _always_ return
true if we know of the channel edge, meaning that it was previously
added on announce.

This change fixes a minor bug present in the code which would result in
extraneous re-transmissions of updates received by the new routing
package.

channeldb: add method to lookup a channel ID by it's funding outpoint
This commit adds a utility method whcih utilizes the edge index bucket
and allows caller to look up the channel ID of a channel by its funding
outpoint. This can be used to populate RPC’s with additional
information and also to provide users with an additional query
interface to build channel explorers, etc.

channeldb: return proper error in ChannelGraph.ForEachChannel()
This commit fixes a minor bug in the ForEachChannel method of the
ChannelGraph struct. Rather than ErrGraphNoEdgesFound being returned if
either of the edge related buckets hadn’t been created yet,
ErrGraphNodesNotFound was being returned.

To fix this bug, we now properly return ErrGraphNoEdgesFound.
Additionally a mental note to roasbeef has been left as the current
code currently assumes that eventually both directions of the channel
edge will be advertised. However, this may not necessarily be the case
in a live network, since a side chooses to preferentially advertise a
channel or not.

channeldb: add HasLightningNode+HasChannelEdge methods to ChannelGraph
This commit adds to new functions to the ChannelGraph struct which
allow the callers to query for the existence or non-existence of a
vertex (node) or edge (channel) within the graph. In addition to
returning whether the edge exists, the functions will also return the
last time the state has been modified for the edge or vertex. This will
allow callers to ensure that only the most up to date state is
committed to disk.

channeldb: add support for channel graph pruning
This commit adds support for channel graph pruning, which is the method
used to keep the channel graph in sync with the current UTXO state. As
the channel graph is essentially simply a subset of the UTXO set, by
evaluating the channel graph with the set of outfits spent within a
block, then we’re able to prune channels that’ve been closed by
spending their funding outpoint. A new method `PruneGraph` has been
provided which implements the described functionality.

Upon start up any upper routing layers should sync forward in the chain
pruning the channel graph with each newly found block. In order to
facilitate such channel graph reconciliation a new method `PruneTip`
has been added which allows callers to query current pruning state of
the channel graph.

channeldb: add option to re-use existing db transaction for graph traversals
This commit modifies the LightningNode.ForEachChannel method to give
the caller the option of re-using an existing database transaction
instead of always creating a new db transaction with each invocation.
Internally boltdb will run into an error/dead-lock if a nested
transaction is attempted.

Such an action might be attempted if one were to use the traversal
functions in  a path finding algorithm. Therefore in order to avoid
that after, we now allow the re-use of transactions to facilitate
nested calls to ForEachChannel.

channeldb: add storage of an on-disk directed channel graph
This commit introduces a new capability to the database: storage of an
on-disk directed channel graph. The on-disk representation of the graph
within boltdb is essentially a modified adjacency list which separates
the storage of the edge’s existence and the storage of the edge
information itself.

The new objects provided within he ChannelGraph carry an API which
facilitates easy graph traversal via their ForEach* methods. As a
result, path finding algorithms will be able to be expressed in a
natural way using the range methods as a for-range language extension
within Go.

Additionally caching will likely be added either at this layer or the
layer above (the RoutingManager) in order keep queries and outgoing
payments speedy. In a future commit a new set of RPC’s to query the
state of a particular edge or node will also be added.
