Now that we have json_stream in common/, we can move all the related
helpers from lightningd/json to common/json. This way everyone can
benefit of them (including libplugin, the plugins themselves,
potentially lightning-cli), not lightningd alone!
Note that the Makefile of the common/test/ had to be modified, because
the new helpers make use of common/wireaddr... Which turns out to
\#include <lightingd/lightningd.h> ! So we couldnt just include the .c
and add mocks if we redefined some structs (hello run-param).
Before this patch we used `int` for error codes. The problem with
`int` is that we try to pass it to/from wire and the size of `int` is
not defined by the standard. So a sender with 4-byte `int` would write
4 bytes to the wire and a receiver with 2-byte `int` (for example) would
read just 2 bytes from the wire.
To resolve this:
* Introduce an error code type with a known size:
`typedef s32 errcode_t`.
* Change all error code macros to constants of type `errcode_t`.
Constants also play better with gdb - it would visualize the name of
the constant instead of the numeric value.
* Change all functions that take error codes to take the new type
`errcode_t` instead of `int`.
* Introduce towire / fromwire functions to send / receive the newly added
type `errcode_t` and use it instead of `towire_int()`.
In addition:
* Remove the now unneeded `towire_int()`.
* Replace a hardcoded error code `-2` with a new constant
`INVOICE_EXPIRED_DURING_WAIT` (903).
Changelog-Changed: The waitinvoice command would now return error code 903 to designate that the invoice expired during wait, instead of the previous -2
The tal overhead of 5 pointers, the linked list node is 2; and we also
tal'd the string. That's 96 bytes per entry.
Use a simple array instead, though it means more work on deletion
since each log_entry is no longer a tal object.
