This commit changes the key derivation algo we use to emulate buckets
similar to bbolt. The issue with prefixing keys with either a bucket or
a value prefix is that the cursor couldn't effectively iterate trough
all keys in a bucket, as it skipped the bucket keys.
While there are multiple ways to fix that issue (eg. two pointers,
iterating value keys then bucket keys, etc), the cleanest is to instead
of prefixes in keys we use a postfix indicating whether a key is a
bucket or a value. This also simplifies all operations where we
(recursively) iterate a bucket and is equivalent with the prefixing key
derivation with the addition that bucket and value keys are now
continous.
The channeldb implements the persistent storage engine for lnd and
generically a data storage layer for the required state within the Lightning
Network. The backing storage engine is
boltdb, an embedded pure-go key-value store
based off of LMDB.
The package implements an object-oriented storage model with queries and
mutations flowing through a particular object instance rather than the database
itself. The storage implemented by the objects includes: open channels, past
commitment revocation states, the channel graph which includes authenticated
node and channel announcements, outgoing payments, and invoices
