Our TLV serializer relies on TLV outputs to be ordered by type
number. Prior to this commit we relied on 1) the ordering in the
RFC to be correct and 2) users to be using a version of Python that
respects stable ordering of dicts (i.e. Python 3.7+)
Instead of relying on these implicitly, we now explicitly sort messages
by type number when the TLV sets.
Resolves#2956.
Thanks-To: @ScottTre for the sort function

TLVs have an implicit `len` field, so allow expressions containing
that (eg. `len-1`), but assume it means "the remainder of the
message".
This means in most places, f.size() needs an fallback for the
implicit-length case.

remove extra space from the lead-in for inline comments
so that a provided comment like this
# This is a comment
will appear like this
/* This is a comment */
if there are any comments that aren't "attached" to a message,
print them at the top of the generated file. we need this for
the fancy auto-gen'd dependencies in the tool-wiregen tests.
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
