We're lucky that we can distinguish the severity of the failure based on the
failcode, so we bubble up the one with the maximum failcode, and let callers
inspect details if they need more information.
We can have quite detailed information about our local channels, so call
`listpeers` before the `getroute` call on the root payment, to seed that
information in the channel_hints.
We need to keep them around so we can inspect them later. We'll also need a
background cleanup every once in a while to free some memory. More on that in
a future commit.
We were just handwaving the partid generation, which broke some tests that
expected the first payment attempt to always have partid=0, so here we just
track the partids assigned in the payment tree, starting at 0.
This is just for testing for now, TLV payload computation will come next. We
stage all the payloads in deserialized form so modifiers can modify them more
easily and serialize them only before actually calling `createonion`.
This is likely a bit of overkill for this type of functionality, but it is a
nice first use-case of how functionality can be compartmentalized into
modifiers. If makes swapping retry mechanisms in and out really simple.
This should make it easy for JSON-RPC functions and modifiers to get the
associated data for a given modifier name. Useful if a modifier needs to
access its parent's modifier data, or in other functions that need to access
modifier data, e.g., when passing destination pointers into the `param()`
call.
This commit can be reverted/skipped once we have implemented all the logic and
have feature parity with the normal `pay`. It's main purpose is to expose the
unfinished functionality to test it, without completely breaking the existing
`pay` command.
