Some Linux OSs impose a length limit on the path a Unix socket may have. This
is not an issue in `lightningd` since we `chdir()` into that directory before
opening the socket, however in pyln this became a problem for some tests,
since we use absolute paths in the testing framework. It's also a rather
strange quirk to expose to users.
This patch introduces a `UnixSocket` abstraction that attempts to work around
these limitations by aliasing the directory containing the socket into
`/proc/self/fd` and then connecting using that alias.
It was inspired by Open vSwitch code here https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/master/python/ovs/socket_util.py

We were indiscriminately accessing the `__annotations__` which could cause
issues if the function had been wrapped by some functions such as
`functools.partial`. This just checks that the access is safe before doing it.

it's that time of year (merry xmas!)
enables the ability to push_msat on fundchannel
Changelog-Added: RPC: `fundchannel` and `fundchannel_start` can now accept an optional parameter, `push_msat`, which will gift that amount of satoshis to the peer at channel open.
Thanks to @t-bast, who made this possible by interop testing with Eclair!
Changelog-Added: Protocol: can now send and receive TLV-style onion messages.
Changelog-Added: Protocol: can now send and receive BOLT11 payment_secrets.
Changelog-Added: Protocol: can now receive basic multi-part payments.
Changelog-Added: RPC: low-level commands sendpay and waitsendpay can now be used to manually send multi-part payments.

addresses issue #2753.
Formatting the JSON with the default parameters will escape the unicode
symbols in a way that c-lightning won't allow, leading to an exception.
Changelog-Fixed: `pylightning` now handles unicode characters in JSON-RPC requests and responses correctly.
This should not affect any consumer of the API since we just shift the actual
implementation from one side to the other, and keep aliases in place so
scripts don't break.
We also bump the version number from 0.0.7.3 to 0.7.4 which allows us to be in
sync with c-lightning itself, and remove the superfluous `0` in front.
This is the first step to transition to a better organized python module
structure. Sadly we can't reuse the `pylightning` module as a namespace module
since having importable things in the top level of the namespace is not
allowed in any of the namespace variants [1], hence we just switch over to the
`pyln` namespace. The code the was under `lightning` will now be reachable
under `pyln.client` and we add the `pyln.proto` module for all the things that
are independent of talking to lightningd and can be used for protocol testing.
