Rusty Russell	fe96fe10c7	Clean up network options. It's become clear that our network options are insufficient, with the coming addition of Tor and unix domain support. Currently: 1. We always bind to local IPv4 and IPv6 sockets, unless --port=0, --offline, or any address is specified explicitly. If they're routable, we announce. 2. --addr is used to announce, but not to control binding. After this change: 1. --port is deprecated. 2. --addr controls what we bind to and announce. 3. --bind-addr/--announce-addr can be used to control one and not the other. 4. Unless --autolisten=0, we add local IPv4 & IPv6 port 9735 (and announce if they are routable). 5. --offline still overrides listening (though announcing is still the same). This means we can bind to as many ports/interfaces as we want, and for special effects we can announce different things (eg. we're sitting behind a port forward or a proxy). What remains to implement is semi-automatic binding: we should be able to say '--addr=0.0.0.0:9999' and have the address resolve at bind time, or even '--addr=0.0.0.0:0' and have the port autoresolve too (you could determine what it was from 'lightning-cli getinfo'.

Clean up network options.

It's become clear that our network options are insufficient, with the coming
addition of Tor and unix domain support.

Currently:

1. We always bind to local IPv4 and IPv6 sockets, unless --port=0, --offline,
   or any address is specified explicitly.  If they're routable, we announce.
2. --addr is used to announce, but not to control binding.

After this change:

1. --port is deprecated.
2. --addr controls what we bind to and announce.
3. --bind-addr/--announce-addr can be used to control one and not the other.
4. Unless --autolisten=0, we add local IPv4 & IPv6 port 9735 (and announce if they are routable).
5. --offline still overrides listening (though announcing is still the same).

This means we can bind to as many ports/interfaces as we want, and for
special effects we can announce different things (eg. we're sitting
behind a port forward or a proxy).

What remains to implement is semi-automatic binding: we should be able
to say '--addr=0.0.0.0:9999' and have the address resolve at bind
time, or even '--addr=0.0.0.0:0' and have the port autoresolve too
(you could determine what it was from 'lightning-cli getinfo'.

pytest: Add py.test fixtures and migrate first example test

This is the first example of the py.test style fixtures which should allow us to
write much cleaner and nicer tests.
