multi: change all imports to roasbeef's forks
This commit will allow the general public to build lnd without jumping
through hoops setting up their local git branches nicely with all of
our forks.

/* findpre - find the pre-image for a given hash
The worst (?) has happened and your channel counterparty has broadcast an old,
invalid state. That's bad. But what, that means you get to take all the money.
This is the fun part of the channel enforcement mechanism.
The old transaction they broadcast has an nLockTime field which provides a hint
about which state number, and which hash index, was used. Bitcoin's nLockTime
field counts as blocks from 0 to 499,999,999 (which would happen somtime after
10,000 CE) and as a unix time from 500,000,000 up to 4,294,967,296 (which is
much sooner, in 2106). There is some extra space we can use here in both cases,
though the unix time gives us much more. nLockTimes from 500,000,000 to
1,036,870,912 are safe, representing dates from 1985 to 2002, which are before
any possible bitcoin transaction. 1,036,870,912 is 500,000,000 plus
536,870,912, and 536,870,912 is 2^29, so we have 29 bits of free space.
After subtracting 500,000,000, the remaning lowest 29 bits are the bits of the
index within the elkrem receiver used in that transaction. That way, even with
a trillion previous channel states (2^40) we will only need to search through
2048 possible branches to find the right pre-image. In most cases, there will
be fewer than 536,870,912 previous states and we can seek directly to the
correct pre-image.
