Changelog-Fixed: plugin: `bcli` no longer logs a harmless warning about being unable to connect to the JSON-RPC interface.
Changelog-Added: plugin: Plugins can opt out of having an RPC connection automatically initialized on startup.
While we removed the `satoshi` param in #3603 it appears that the
`fundchannel` plugin was still passing it to the `fundchannel_start`
call. This fixes up the help text. Notice that technically the help text
changes the param name, but since it was internally always called `amount`
this change doesn't break the API, the help was just wrong.
It's almost always "their_features" and "our_features" respectively, so
make those names clear.

So we can't tell people they should use amount, until v0.8.2 is
released. Another 6 months before we can deprecated the 'satoshi'
field here :(

Changelog-Fixed: JSON: `fundchannel_start` returns `amount` even when deprecated APIs are enabled.
Changelog-Deprecated: JSON: `fundchannel_start` `satoshi` field really deprecated now (use `amount`).

Changelog-Removed: JSON: `fundchannel` and `fundchannel_start` `satoshi` parameter removed (renamed to `amount` in 0.7.3).
This adds helpers to start and send a jsonrpc request using json_stream
in order to benefit from the helpers.
This then simplifies existing plugins RPC requests by using json_stream
helpers.
it's that time of year (merry xmas!)
enables the ability to push_msat on fundchannel
Changelog-Added: RPC: `fundchannel` and `fundchannel_start` can now accept an optional parameter, `push_msat`, which will gift that amount of satoshis to the peer at channel open.
Changelog-Added: RPC: The 'fundchannel' command now tries to connect to the peer before funding the channel, no need to 'connect' before 'fundchannel' anymore !
Currently the only source for amount_asset is the value getter on a tx output,
and we don't hand it too far around (mainly ignoring it if it isn't the
chain's main currency). Eventually we could bubble them up to the wallet, use
them to select outputs or actually support assets in the channels.
Since we don't hand them around too widely I thought it was ok for them to be
pass-by-value rather than having to allocate them and pass them around by
reference. They're just 41 bytes currently so the overhead should be ok.

The fundchannel plugin needs to know how to build a transaction, so we need to
tell it which chainparams to use. Also adds `chainparams` as a global, since
that seems to be the way to do things in plugins.
in order to preserve current behavior, we cap at max if specified 'all';
otherwise we fail since the amount requested is larger than the
channel max capacity
Previously, we'd fail on 'all'. `fundchannel_start` needs an amount
in order to start a funding transaction.
The way that we approach this is to first call `txprepare` with a
placeholder address and the 'all' amount; this will return the maximum
amount available. We then clamp this to the max_funding (currently
hardcoded, in the future we'd want to consult our/the peer's features) and
then use the amount on the output in the prepared transaction as the
funding amount. We then pass this amount to fundchannel_start,
after we've started it successfully we cancel the held placeholder
transaction and prepare a second transaction for the exact amount,
using the funding address that fundchannel_start passed back.
