This commits builds on top of PR #3694 to further clarify invoice
state by defining pending invoices as the ones which are not
settled or canceled. Automatic cancellation of expired invoices
makes this possbile. While this change only directly affects
ChannelDB, users of the listinvoices RPC will receive actual
pending invoices when pending_only flag is set.
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
