This is in preparation for the next step.
Note that we now don't add it to the linked list of txs we've send
until after it's sent by the immediate callback; this means it won't
get broadcast by the timer until after it's been done by broadcast_tx.
Also, this means we no longer steal the tx in broadcast_tx(); but we'll fix
up the leaks 4 patches later.

Added channel announcement serialization and parsing, as well as the
entrypoints for the IRC peer discovery. Announcements are signed by the
sending endpoint and signatures are verified before adding the channels
to the local view of the topology. We do not yet verify the existence of
the anchor transaction.
This avoids us having to query it when we create anchor transaction, and
lets us always use dynamic fee information.
The config options for max and min are now percentages, rather than absolute.

This is the command an actual user would use: it figures out the fee
and route, and pays it if it can.

The protocol still supports both, but we now only support blocks.
It's hard to do risk management with timeouts in seconds, given block
variance. This is also signficantly simpler, as HTLC timeouts are
always fired in response to blocks, not wall-clock times.

Since bitcoind doesn't propagate non-main chains, there's little point
trying to be smart when we see them. This simplifies things immensely.

It's primitive, but we re-broadcast any txs not included in the main
chain every time the tip moves. We only track transactions we are
watching, but that turns out to cover every transaction we generate
anyway.

There isn't a single blockhash; we may be on multiple forks. But the one
caller which cares is commit_tx_depth(), which wants to know if the tx is
spendable yet. So that uses get_last_mediantime().

This gets the median time of the block the tx is in. If there is more
than one (different tips), it gets the last median time.

This allows us to track precise transaction depth ourselves,
particularly in the case of branching.
