In this commit, we fix the problem where it's annoying to parse a
bitfield printed out in decimal by writing a String method for the
ChanUpdate[Chan|Msg]Flags bitfield.

In this commit:
* we partition lnwire.ChanUpdateFlag into two (ChanUpdateChanFlags and
ChanUpdateMsgFlags), from a uint16 to a pair of uint8's
* we rename the ChannelUpdate.Flags to ChannelFlags and add an
additional MessageFlags field, which will be used to indicate the
presence of the optional field HtlcMaximumMsat within the ChannelUpdate.
* we partition ChannelEdgePolicy.Flags into message and channel flags.
This change corresponds to the partitioning of the ChannelUpdate's Flags
field into MessageFlags and ChannelFlags.

In this commit, we export the ReadElements and WriteElements functions.
We do this as exporting these functions makes it possible for outside
packages to define serializations which use the BOLT 1.0 wire format.
In this commit, we add a new field to all the existing gossip messages:
ExtraOpqueData. We do this, as before this commit, if we came across a
ChannelUpdate message with a set of optional fields, then we wouldn't be
able to properly parse the signatures related to the message. If we
never corrected this behavior, then we would violate the forwards
compatible principle we use when parsing existing messages.
As these messages can now be padded out to the max message size, we've
increased the MaxPayloadLength value for all of these messages.
Fixes#1814.
In this commit, we add a new type to the lnwire package:
ChanUpdateFlag. This type represent the bitfield that’s used within the
ChannelUpdate message to give additional details as how the message
should be interpreted.
This commit modifies the Message interface to convert the Command
method to a MsgType method that uses a new set of message type for all
the defined messages. These new messages types nearly exactly match the
message types used within the current draft of the BOLT specifications.
This commit revues the Validate method from the Message interface as
the method is no longer used and is a relic from an older version of
the codebase.
