Changelog-Added: We now install `lightning-hsmtool` for your `hsm_secret` needs.
See: https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/issues/3717#issuecomment-644844594
It seems reasonable to add this to the standard install, and to document it properly as well, hopefully we can fill in the documentation better later on.
This regroups questions (frequently) seen in Github issues, on IRC, and
also some I've been asked in face to face.
Changelog-Added: doc: An FAQ was added, accessible at https://lightning.readthedocs.io/FAQ.html

ChangeLog-Added: New `getsharedsecret` command, which lets you compute a shared secret with this node knowing only a public point. This implements the BOLT standard of hashing the ECDH point, and is incompatible with ECIES.
* Fix usage of `echo "...\n..."` (without `-e`), generating a
broken output:
```
lightningd-config <lightningd-config.5.md>
lightningd\nlightning-autocleaninvoice.7.md <lightningd.8.md\nlightning-autocleaninvoice.7.md>
```
* Use `$(SORT)` instead of bare `sort` to avoid locale-dependent sort.
* Strip the trailing .[0-9].md without invoking sed.
* Sort all man pages as one block.
Changelog-None
This is needed to fully implement handling of blockheight disagreements
between us and payee.
If payee believes the blockheight is higher than ours, then `pay`
should wait for our node to achieve that blockheight.
Changelog-Add: Implement `waitblockheight` to wait for a specific blockheight.
Changelog-Added: Added `createonion` and `sendonion` JSON-RPC methods allowing the implementation of custom protocol extensions that are not directly implemented in c-lightning itself.
They're a little subtle, so let's spell out exactly what checkmessage
means. In particular, we avoid discussing key derivation from a
signature, as it tends to get people (like me!) into trouble: we
describe it instead as iterating through every known node.

mrkd started enforcing the `name -- short description` style of top-level
headings somewhere, and was thus failing to build the man-pages. I swapped
the title and with the existing short description to make it work
again. `mrkd` will automatically infer the section from the filename so no
need to put it in the title as well.
In addition I removed the "last updated" lines at the bottom since they are
out of date at best, and misleading at the worst. If we want to keep them, I'd
suggest generating them from the commit that last touched them.
This just takes the existing documentation, and generates a nice HTML
version we can point users to. The documentation is automatically
generated on every commit to `master` and will be deployed here:
