This is based on @NicolasDorier's excellent proposal for a Dockerfile, sans the
writing of a config file.

The billboard is now far more useful to tell what's going on, and this
gets us closer to a state == owner mapping.

The more frequent question I ask to myself when initiating channels regards the amount field.
In this document we have three different denominations and the modification proposed aims to address the possible doubts or errors.
The names <amount_in_bitcoins>, <amount_in_satoshis> or <amount_in_millisatoshis> (this last is omitted because the denomination is in the description) are not so elegant but they could serve the purpose.
For the impatient! First time users following these steps may get an error like "Unable to locate package libsodium-dev" if apt-get update is not run first.
* making the cli more user friendly for inexperienced users #662
providing a quickfix for https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/issues/662
Basically I extended the ./lighting-cli --help message to at least state that one should use ./lighting-cli help, and added a hint to cli/lighting-cli help to the README
Closes: #662
We're going to make the ip/port optional, so they should go at the end.
In addition, using ip:port is nicer, for gethostbyaddr().

Also, we split the more sophisticated json_add helpers to avoid pulling in
everything into lightning-cli, and unify the routines to print struct
short_channel_id (it's ':', not '/' too).

They were telling people to use the `<amount>`, but that's encoded in
the route already. Instead the final parameter is the `<rhash>` which
is the only piece of information missing for the transfer.
