The user can explicitly create such things (within [] or ") as we paste
those cases literally, but not for the simple cases.

Plugins don't do it right anyway, and we're about to remove it from
lightningd. Produces same format as json_pp.

Teach `lightning-cli help` to look in the doc directory relative to
lightning-cli if it can't find the manpage in any man paths.
This makes `lightning-cli help` work even if clightning hasn't been installed
yet.

These are only supposed to be used when you want the token contents including
surrounding "". We should use this when reporting errors, but usually
we just want to access the tok members directly.

My test case is a mainnet gossip store with 22107 channels, and
time to do `lightning-cli listchannels`:
Before: `lightning-cli listchannels` DEVELOPER=0
real 0m1.396000-1.409000(1.4022+/-0.005)s
After:
real 0m1.307000-1.320000(1.3128+/-0.005)s

Now that we're returning all the help data, we need to update the human_help
formatter to handle the extra data.

Instead of exiting when we can't find a manpage, set the command and continue so
that we can try the json rpc for help.

In several places we use low-level tal functions because we want the
label to be something other than the default. ccan/tal is adding
tal_*_label so replace them and shim it for now.

Fixes: #574
The issue states that we should follow the standard when
parsing the port for IPv6 [addr]:port syntax, but this is
actually already supported by the daemon. The issue arises
due to the `lightning-cli` misinterpreting [addr]:port as
an array. This modification makes [addr]:port interpreted
as a string.
* making the cli more user friendly for inexperienced users #662
providing a quickfix for https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/issues/662
Basically I extended the ./lighting-cli --help message to at least state that one should use ./lighting-cli help, and added a hint to cli/lighting-cli help to the README
Closes: #662
Also, we split the more sophisticated json_add helpers to avoid pulling in
everything into lightning-cli, and unify the routines to print struct
short_channel_id (it's ':', not '/' too).

We don't need it for testing at the moment, and if we do it'll have
to change to relative anyway now we're going to use time_mono().

The JSON-RPC was non-standard compliant in that it omitted the required
`jsonrpc` entry and it was returning both `error` as well as
`result`. This fixes both of these issues.
This is less convenient to use, but makes far more sense for a real
user (like a wallet). It can ask about the route, then decide whether
to use it or not.
This will make even more sense once we add a parameter to control how
long we let the HTLC be delayed for, so a client can query for high,
medium and low tolerances and compare results.
