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.

We create our children then fork, so we're not a parent. I noticed this
because 'lightning-cli stop' takes a long time: this is because it tries to
wait for them and they don't respond.

Note that we move adding the plugin to the plugins list to the end, otherwise
the hook from logging can examine the (uninitialized) plugin.

Our previous param support was a bit limited in this case.
We create a dev- command multiplexer, so we can exercise it.

We were having a few issues with malformed data in the past, so this time we
really check that stuff.

Instead of taking over the ->cmd pointer, append ourselves to a list
of cancels. This fixes the test_funding_cancel_race.

And clean up some dev ones which actually happen (mainly by calling
channel_fail_permanent which logs UNUSUAL, rather than
channel_internal_error which logs BROKEN).

Rewriting the gossip_store is much more trivial when we don't have
any pointers into it, so add some simple offline compaction code
and disable the automatic compaction code.

The crashes in #2750 are mostly caused by us trying to partially truncate
the store. The simplest fix for release is to discard the whole thing if
we detect a problem.
This is a workaround: it'd be far nicer to try to recover.
Fixes: #2750

It wasn't invalid due to a missing channel_update, but in fact was a
bad checksum due to a cut & paste bug. Fix that, and assert it's not
actually truncating.

If something went wrong and there was an old one, we were
appending to it!

We might have channel_announcements which have no channel_update: normally
these don't get written into the store until there is one, but if the
store was truncated it can happen. We then get upset on compaction, since
we don't have an in-memory representation of the channel_announcement.
Similarly, we leave the node_announcement pending until after that
channel_announcement, leading to a similar case.

I decided to try a faster implementation, only to find our crc32c was
not correct! Ouch.
I removed the crc32c functions from ccan/crc, and added a new crc32c
module which has the Mark Adler x86-64-optimized variants.
We bump gossip_store version again, since csums have changed.
