We currently end up sleeping for 1 second for channeld and gossipd:
better to use a normal blocking waitpid and an alarm to wake us in
case they don't exit.
This speeds up `lightning-cli stop` on my machine from 2.008s to 0.008s:
a 286 times speedup!

During sync it is highly likely that we can coalesce multiple calls and share
results among them. We also report back failures for non-existing blocks early
on, so we don't run into issues with blocks that our bitcoind doesn't have
yet.

This was caused by us not checking against the max_blockheight, but rather the
min_blockheight which can be negative with a newly created node. This is still
safe since we check for duplicates anyway in `wallet_filteredblock_add`.

This is probably worth preventing.
1. Our depth estimate would be inaccurate possibly leading to us
timing out too early.
2. If we're not up-to-date our onchain funds are unknown.
3. We wouldn't be able to send or receive HTLCs until we're synced anyway.

We want to still allow incoming connections, and reestablishment of
channels, but if one tries to give us an HTLC, stall until we're
synced.
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
If we don't know block height, we shouldn't be sending HTLCs. This
stops us forwarding HTLCs as well as new payments.

I suspect multiple plugins trying to connect at the same
time are overrunning the 1-deep listen queue:
From man listen(2):
The backlog argument defines the maximum length to which the queue of
pending connections for sockfd may grow. If a connection request ar‐
rives when the queue is full, the client may receive an error with an
indication of ECONNREFUSED

`close` takes two optional arguments: `force` and `timeout`.
`timeout` doesn't timeout the close (there's no way to do that), just
the JSON call. `force` (default `false`) if set, means we unilaterally
close at the timeout, instead of just failing.
Timing out JSON calls is generally deprecated: that's the job of the
client. And the semantics of this are confusing, even to me! A
better API is a timeout which, if non-zero, is the time at which we
give up and unilaterally close.
The transition code is awkward, but we'll manage for the three
releases until we can remove it.
The new defaults are to unilaterally close after 48 hours.

If we were to just insert filtered blocks in the range that we will scan later
we'd be hitting the uniqueness constraints later.
Signed-off-by: Christian Decker <decker.christian@gmail.com>
Instead of allowing all calls to `getfilteredblock` to be scheduled on the
`bitcoind` queue right away we instead add them in a separate queue, and
process a single call at a time. This limits the concurrency and avoids
thrashing `bitcoind`. At the same time we dispatch incoming results back to
all calls that were queued for that particular blockheight, reducing the
overall number of calls and an increase in overall speed.

We will be calling the callback out of order once we fan out the results of a
single lookip to multiple calls, so being sure that everything is allocated
ahead of time is necessary.

Since we now check all P2WSH outputs in a block, this is getting quite a
common occurence, so logging just produces lots of noise.
Signed-off-by: Christian Decker <decker.christian@gmail.com>
This will eventually replace the multi-step `getblockhash` + `getblock` +
`gettxout` mechanism, and return entire filtered blocks which can be added to
the DB, and represent the full set of P2WSH UTXOs.

This was causing `--help` to fail if we already had a `lightningd` running
with the same `--lightning-dir`.

1. Now checking the pid file really does precede touching the db and
starting plugins, which is far safer.
2. Crashlog is now activated just after daemon parent release, and just
before the main loop, which means no "crash" on startup if we call fatal().
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
Dumb programs which have a --daemon option call fork() early. This is
terrible UX since startup errors get lost: the program exits with
"success" immediately then you discover via the logs that it didn't
start at all.
However, forking late introduced a heap of problems with changing
pids. Instead, fork early but keep stderr and the parent around: if
we fail early on, the parent fails with us. We release our parent
with an explicit action just before the main loop.

Since we are walking the entire allocation tree anyway, and access the tal
metadata anyway, we can just as well also track the size of the memory
allocations to simplify debugging of memory use.

Otherwise it creates the lightning-dir. This can't be helped for --help
(at least, if plugins are present), but --version simply prints and exits.

Note that we move adding the plugin to the plugins list to the end, otherwise
the hook from logging can examine the (uninitialized) plugin.
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
This is easy since we did the option parsing cleanup, but it has the
effect that plugins are launched from the lightning-dir. Now
we have dynamic plugins, this means startup and post-startup plugins
experience the same environment.
This is absolutely a desirable thing: they can just drop files in
their cwd rather than having to move (including, I might note, core
files!).
We also highlight the change in various places (and a drive-up update
of PLUGINS.md which says you have to use --plugin).
The next patch adds a backwards compatibility wedge for old users of
relative plugin paths.

We currently send channel_announcement as soon as we and our
peer agree it's 6 blocks deep. In theory, our other peers might
not have seen that block yet though, so delay a little.
This is mitigated by two factors:
1. lnd will stash any "not ready yet" channel_announcements anyway.
2. c-lightning doesn't enforce the 6 depth minimum at all.
We should not rely on other nodes' generosity or laxity, however!
Next release, we can start enforcing the depth limit, and maybe stashing
ones which don't quite make it (or simply enforce depth 5, not 6).
