This allows plugins to choose how to present things in getmanifest.

Changelog-Added: plugins: `getmanifest` may now include "allow-deprecated-apis" boolean flag.
Changelog-Deprecated: plugins: `getmanifest` without any parameters; plugins should accept any parameters for future use.
Changelog-Added: New option `--important-plugin` loads a plugin is so important that if it dies, `lightningd` will exit rather than continue. You can still `--disable-plugin` it, however, which trumps `--important-plugin` and it will not be started at all.
`listconfigs` calls were setting the description twice and was using the
pointer to the boolean value as the boolean value, resulting in always
returning `true`.
There's no reason to assign the plugin vars inside the callback, so do
that outside, and the tal_steal() is redundant (the plugin is already
the conn parent).
And reduce duplication by making plugin_conn_finish call plugin_kill:
just make sure we don't call plugin_conn_finish again if plugin_kill
is called externally.

The previous implementation was a bit lazy: in particular, since we didn't
remember the disabled plugins, we would load them on rescan.
Changelog-Changed: config: the `plugin-disable` option works even if specified before the plugin is found.
1. Make the destructor call check_plugins_resolved(),
unless it was uninitialized (`opt_disable_plugin`).
2. Remove redundant list_del (destructor already does it).

That's more convenient for most callers, which don't need a fmt.

This is what I expected from plugin_kill, and now all the callers do the
equivalent anywat, it's easy.
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
Instead of calling plugin_kill() and returning, have them
uniformly return an error string or NULL, and have the top
level (plugin_read_json) do the plugin_kill() call.

This means we now clean up options in startup plugins (that was only
done by dynamic code!), and now they both share the 60 second timeout
instead of 20 seconds for dynamic.
For the dynamic case though, it's 60 seconds to both complete
getmanifest and init, which seems fair.
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
This will allow the dynamic starting code to use them too.
Also lets us move dev_debug_subprocess under #if DEVELOPER.
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
This will let us unify the startup and runtime-started infrastructure.
Note that there are two kinds of notifications:
1. Starting a single plugin (i.e. `plugin start`)
2. Starting multiple plugins (i.e. `plugin rescan` or `plugin startdir`).
In the latter case, we want the command to complete only once *all*
the plugins are dead/finished.
We also call plugin_kill() in all cases, and correctly return afterwards
(it matters once we use the same paths for dynamic plugins, which don't
cause a fatal error if they don't startup).

The symptom (under heavy load and valgrind) in test_plugin_command:
lightningd: common/json_stream.c:237: json_stream_output_: Assertion `!js->reader' failed.
This is because we try to call `getmanifest` again on `pay` which has not yet
responded to init.
The minimal fix for this is to keep proper state, so we can tell the
difference between "not yet called getmanifest" and "not yet finished
init".

We use the new function `plugins_free` to define the correct deallocation
order on shutdown, since under normal operation the allocation tree is
organized to allow plugins to terminate and automatically free all dependent
resources. During shutdown the deallocation order is under-defined since
siblings may get freed in any order, but we implicitly rely on them staying
around.
We now track all pending RPC passthrough calls, and terminate them with an
error if the plugin dies.
Changelog-Fixed: JSON-RPC: Pending RPC method calls are now terminated if the handling plugin exits prematurely.
It's almost always "their_features" and "our_features" respectively, so
make those names clear.

Shows what features we use in various contexts, including those added
by plugins in getmanifest.
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
Changelog-Added: Plugin: `feature_set` object added to `init`
Turns out that unnecessary: all callers can access the feature_set,
so make it much more like a normal primitive.
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
This cleans up the boutique handling of features, and importantly, it
means that if a plugin says to offer a feature in init, we will now
*accept* that feature.
Changelog-Fixed: Plugins: setting an 'init' feature bit allows us to accept it from peers.

also: convert the stored int value from 'int' to 's64'
atoi fails silently, returning a zero. instead we use the more robust
strtoll which will allow us fail with an error.
we also make the parsing for bools stricter, only allowing plausibly
boolean values to parse.
We were waiting for both stdin and stdout to close, however that resulted in
us deferring cleanup indefinitely since we did not poll stdout for being
writable most of the time. On the other hand we are almost always polling
the plugin's stdout, so that notifies us as soon as the plugin stops.
Changelog-Fixed: plugin: Plugins no longer linger indefinitely if their process terminates
As a separated commit because it was pre-existent (changelog + xfail test).
This also fix a logical problem in lightningd/plugin_control: we were
assuming a plugin started with 'plugin start' but which did not comport
a 'dynamic' entry in its manifest to be dynamic, though it should have
been treated as static.
Changelog-fixed: plugins: Dynamic C plugins can now be managed when lightningd is up
