In this commit, we introduce a nice optimization with regards to lnd's interaction with a bitcoind backend. Within lnd, we currently have three different subsystems responsible for watching the chain: chainntnfs, lnwallet, and routing/chainview. Each of these subsystems has an active RPC and ZMQ connection to the underlying bitcoind node. This would incur a toll on the underlying bitcoind node and would cause us to miss ZMQ events, which are crucial to lnd. We remedy this issue by sharing the same connection to a bitcoind node between the different clients within lnd. |

chainntnfs
The chainntnfs package implements a set of interfaces which allow callers to receive notifications in response to specific on-chain events. The set of notifications available include:
- Notifications for each new block connected to the current best chain.
- Notifications once a
txidhas reached a specified number of confirmations. - Notifications once a target outpoint (
txid:index) has been spent.
These notifications are used within lnd in order to properly handle the
workflows for: channel funding, cooperative channel closures, forced channel
closures, channel contract breaches, sweeping time-locked outputs, and finally
pruning the channel graph.
This package is intentionally general enough to be applicable outside the
specific use cases within lnd outlined above. The current sole concrete
implementation of the ChainNotifier interface depends on btcd.
