We recently noticed that the way we unpack the call arguments for hooks and
notifications in pylightning breaks pretty quickly once you start changing the
hook and notification params. If you add params they will not get mapped
correctly causing the plugin to error out.
This can be fixed by adding a `VAR_KEYWORD` argument to the calbacks, i.e., by
adding a single `**kwargs` argument at the end of the signature. This commit
adds a check that such a catch-all argument exists, and emits a warning if it
doesn't.
It also fixes up the plugins that we ship ourselves.

We were having a few issues with malformed data in the past, so this time we
really check that stuff.

1. Create a plugin: ./lightning/tests/plugins/pretend_badlog.py
This plugin subscribes 'warning' notification and log the payload of
'warning';
2. Add a new test: tests/test_plugin.py::test_warning_notification
This test runs the plugin-pretend_badlog.py and check if 'warning'
notification can be normal triggered and subscribed.
I misunderstood the API, this ended up nesting a result inside the JSON-RPC
result.
No concerns about backwards compatibility since this is so new.

We should be able to pass UTF-8 strings to and from plugins without
python turning them into JSON-\u escapes.

We don't, but we should, like we do for normal RPC. However, I chose
to use function annotations, rather than names-ending-in-'msat'
because it's more Pythony.
