I did a brief audit of tmpctx uses, and we do leak them in various
corner cases. Fortunely, all our daemons are based on some kind of
I/O loop, so it's fairly easy to clean a global tmpctx at that point.
This makes things a bit neater, and slightly more efficient, but also
clearer: I avoided creating a tmpctx in a few places because I didn't
want to add another allocation. With that penalty removed, I can use
it more freely and hopefully write clearer code.

To avoid everything pulling in HTLCs stuff to the opening daemon, we
split the channel and commit_tx routines into initial_channel and
initial_commit_tx (no HTLC support) and move full HTLC supporting versions
into channeld.

Added channel announcement serialization and parsing, as well as the
entrypoints for the IRC peer discovery. Announcements are signed by the
sending endpoint and signatures are verified before adding the channels
to the local view of the topology. We do not yet verify the existence of
the anchor transaction.
