Fixes: #574
The issue states that we should follow the standard when
parsing the port for IPv6 [addr]:port syntax, but this is
actually already supported by the daemon. The issue arises
due to the `lightning-cli` misinterpreting [addr]:port as
an array. This modification makes [addr]:port interpreted
as a string.
* 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
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).

We don't need it for testing at the moment, and if we do it'll have
to change to relative anyway now we're going to use time_mono().

The JSON-RPC was non-standard compliant in that it omitted the required
`jsonrpc` entry and it was returning both `error` as well as
`result`. This fixes both of these issues.
This is less convenient to use, but makes far more sense for a real
user (like a wallet). It can ask about the route, then decide whether
to use it or not.
This will make even more sense once we add a parameter to control how
long we let the HTLC be delayed for, so a client can query for high,
medium and low tolerances and compare results.
