This commit makes use of the batched AddWitness
method of the WitnessCache, in order to avoid
performing one write for each accepted preimage.
Additionally, this fixes an existing hole in the
consistency guarantees since the batched writes
are now guaranteed to take place before accepting
the next CommitSig. Previously, these writes were
processed in an unsynchronized go routine that
could be delayed arbitrarily long before being
executed.
With this change, the async_payments_benchmarks
actually shows a slight improvement in
performance, presumably because we no longer do
an individual write per preimage, even though
the execution is now explicitly in the critical
path. There is likely also a marginal performance
improvement from the reduction in goroutine
overhead.
