chainntnfs: cache spend hints within the different chain notifiers
In this commit, we extend the different ChainNotifier implementations to
cache height hints for our spend events. Each outpoint we've requested a
spend notification for will have its initial height hint cached. We then
increment this height hint at every new block for unspent outpoints.
This allows us to retrieve the *exact* height at which the outpoint has
been spent. By doing this, we optimize the different ChainNotifier
implementations since they will no longer have to rescan forward (and
possibly fetch blocks in the neutrino/pruned node case) from the initial
height hint.

Build Status MIT licensed GoDoc

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 txid has 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.
