@rustyrussell showed we don't need temporary objects for params.
This means params no longer need a tal context.

@wythe points out we don't need to keep the around now param_is_set()
is removed. We can in fact go further and avoid marshalling them into
temporary objects at the caller altogether.
This means internally we have an array of struct param, rather than an
array of 'struct param *', which causes most of the noise in this
patch.

We're using a macro anyway, so appending "" make it a compile-time check.
Complicates testing a bit, since we actually use generated names there.

This is a bit more natural, IMHO. The only issue is that json_tok_tok is
special, so we end up with param_opt_tok() if you really want an optional
generic token.

This is part of #1464 and incorporates Rusty's suggested updates from #1569.
See comment in param.h for description, here's the basics:
unsigned cltv;
const jsmntok_t *note;
u64 msatoshi;
struct param * mp;
if (!param_parse(cmd, buffer, tokens,
param_req("cltv", json_tok_number, &cltv),
param_opt("note", json_tok_tok, ¬e),
mp = param_opt("msatoshi", json_tok_u64, &msatoshi),
NULL))
return;
if (param_is_set(mp))
do_something()
There is a lot of developer mode code to make sure we don't make mistakes,
like trying to unmarshal into the same variable twice or adding a required param
after optional.
During testing, I found a bug (of sorts) in the current system. It allows you
to provide two named parameters with the same name without error; e.g.:
# cli/lightning-cli -k newaddr addresstype=p2sh-segwit addresstype=bech32
{
"address": "2N3r6fT65PhfhE1mcMS6TtcdaEurud6M7pA"
}
It just takes the first and ignores the second. The new system reports this as an
error for now. We can always change this later.
