We want to differentiate a wrong block-height from other failure reasons, such
as an unknown `payment_hash`, so we skip the `waitblockheight` if we're
already at the correct height.
Add/remove the HTLC amount from the channel hints so concurrent getroute calls
have the correct exclusions. This can sometimes underflow, if we're unlucky
and call getroute too closely, but that's not a big issue, it can only result
in a failed MPP attempt too many, nothing fatal, and it'll get corrected based
on the result returned by the failing node.
These are primarily the fee and cltv constraints that we need to keep up to
date in order to give modifiers a correct view of what is and what isn't
allowed.
We could end up with multiple channel hints, which is a bit wasteful. We now
look for existing ones before adding a new one, and if one exists we use the
more restrictive parameters.

We're lucky that we can distinguish the severity of the failure based on the
failcode, so we bubble up the one with the maximum failcode, and let callers
inspect details if they need more information.
We can have quite detailed information about our local channels, so call
`listpeers` before the `getroute` call on the root payment, to seed that
information in the channel_hints.
Since we end up consolidating some of the return values for `pay` and
`paystatus` and change the public interface we need to add the compatibility
flag and guard the switchover behind it.
most likely unused since the switch to libwally for internal blockchain
things.
these method names were clashing with ones that are to be introduced
with some libwally cleanups, so getting rid of them pre-emptively keeps
us libwally compatible
We need to keep them around so we can inspect them later. We'll also need a
background cleanup every once in a while to free some memory. More on that in
a future commit.
We were just handwaving the partid generation, which broke some tests that
expected the first payment attempt to always have partid=0, so here we just
track the partids assigned in the payment tree, starting at 0.
The status of what started as a simple JSON-RPC call is now spread across an
entire tree of partial payments and payment attempts. So we collect the status
in a single struct in order to report back success of failure.
This is just for testing for now, TLV payload computation will come next. We
stage all the payloads in deserialized form so modifiers can modify them more
easily and serialize them only before actually calling `createonion`.
This is necessary so we can build the absolute locktimes in the next step. For
now just fetch the blockheight on each (sub-)payment, later we can reuse the
root blockheight if it ends up using too much traffic.
