This was deeply surprising to me; there's a difference between a value not being
specified, and it being specified as "".

This also allows plugins to do "hold invoices" a-la LND, useful for
just-in-time inventory handling.
We're careful to handle the invoice getting paid behind our backs, and
the incoming HTLC going away.
Once @cdecker's sphinx rework is in, we can also hand the raw payload
to the invoice_payment_hook, for special effects.

In theory we could allow a db_write-using plugin to have other
hooks/commands by embargoing their other responses until the exclusive
period is over. That would be nice for a 'dbmirrorinfo' command, for
example.
The other option would be to *always* go exclusive on a db_write-using
plugin, so responses can never get intermingled.

Since we are planning to release a bug fix release, and the plugin
subsystem is not yet complete, it is better to make plugin support
opt-in while we continue testing.
