We cannot let users use `sendcustommsg` to inject messages that are handled
internally since it could result in our internal state tracking being borked.
Since the parser itself just parses and doesn't include validation anymore we
need to put that functionality somewhere. The validation consists of enforcing
that the types are in monotonically increasing order without duplicates and
that for the even types we know how to handle it.
We were weaving in and out of generic code through `fromwire_tlvs` with custom
parameters defining the types in that namespace. This hard-wires the parser
with the namespace's types. Slowly trying to deprecate `fromwire_tlvs` in
favor of this typesafe variant.
the RFC's extract-format.py is switching to a new format.
this script can correctly parse them.
mostly moves logic over from generate-wire.py, uses a
Python formatting libarary called mako, which needs to be
installed prior to running this script.
you can add it to your system with
sudo apt-get install python3-mako
