If a channel was manually disabled, subsequent automatic / background
requests to update that channel's state will be ignored. A RequestAuto
call restores automatic / background state management and indicates
that such requests should no longer be ignored.
Add boolean parameter for test functions without changing any
existing functionality. All current tests set manual = false, but
Future tests can set manual = true to test manual requests to
update channel state.
Add a new boolean parameter without changing any existing
functionality. The parameter will be used to indicate
whether a request to update a channel's status was made
manually by a user (currently always false).
In this commit, we add a new sub-system, then `HostAnnouncer` which
allows a users without a static IP address to ensure that lnd always
announces the most up to date address based on a domain name. A new
command line flag `--external-hosts` has been added which allows a user
to specify one or most hosts that should be periodically resolved to
update any advertised IPs the node has.
Fixes#1624.
Modifies the netann.ChanStatusManager to remove outpoints
from the set of tracked channels when it encounters a
channeldb.ErrEdgeNotFound when passively disabling. It is
possible for this to occur if a channel is closed w/o first
being disabled, which may happen if the remote party force
closes.
