Plugins are supposed to store their data in the datastore, and commando does so:
let's make it easier for them by providing convenience APIs.

We have them split over common/param.c, common/json.c,
common/json_helpers.c, common/json_tok.c and common/json_stream.c.
Change that to:
* common/json_parse (all the json_to_xxx routines)
* common/json_parse_simple (simplest the json parsing routines, for cli too)
* common/json_stream (all the json_add_xxx routines)
* common/json_param (all the param and param_xxx routines)

We always allocate a new `struct command` when we get a full JSON
object from stdin:
b2df01dc73/plugins/libplugin.c (L1229-L1233)
If it happens to be a notification, we pass the `struct command` to
the handler, and not free it ourselves:
b2df01dc73/plugins/libplugin.c (L1270-L1275)
There are only nine points in `plugins/libplugin.c` where we `tal_free`
anything, and only one of them frees a `struct command`:
b2df01dc73/plugins/libplugin.c (L224-L234)
The above function `command_complete` is not appropriate for
notification handlers; the above function sends out a response
to our stdout, which a notification handler should not do.
However, as-is, it does mean that notification handling leaks
`struct command` objects, which can be problematic if we ever
have future built-in plugins which are significantly more
dependent on notifications.
This commit changes notification handlers to return
`struct command_result *`, because possibly in the future
notification handlers may want to perform `send_outreq`, so we
might as well use our standard convention for callbacks, and
to encourage future developers to check how to properly
terminate notification handlers (and free up the
`struct command`).
We also now provide a `notification_handled` function which a
notification handler must eventually call, as well as a
`notification_handler_pending` which is just a snowclone of
`command_still_pending`.
We weren't actually getting the last log out; this does that.
We have to fix test_bitcoin_failure which now notices the BROKEN
log message.

Changelog-Fixed: libplugin: Fatal error messages from plugin_exit() now logged in lightningd.
As mentioned in previous commits: "result" must be an object,
and anything else is an antipattern.

Changelog-Fixed: plugin: `bcli` no longer logs a harmless warning about being unable to connect to the JSON-RPC interface.
Changelog-Added: plugin: Plugins can opt out of having an RPC connection automatically initialized on startup.
We don't take the callback result into account, so it can better be void.
Having a general callback parameter is handy, because for bcli we want
to pass it the struct bcli.
This adds helpers to start and send a jsonrpc request using json_stream
in order to benefit from the helpers.
This then simplifies existing plugins RPC requests by using json_stream
helpers.
Before this patch we used `int` for error codes. The problem with
`int` is that we try to pass it to/from wire and the size of `int` is
not defined by the standard. So a sender with 4-byte `int` would write
4 bytes to the wire and a receiver with 2-byte `int` (for example) would
read just 2 bytes from the wire.
To resolve this:
* Introduce an error code type with a known size:
`typedef s32 errcode_t`.
* Change all error code macros to constants of type `errcode_t`.
Constants also play better with gdb - it would visualize the name of
the constant instead of the numeric value.
* Change all functions that take error codes to take the new type
`errcode_t` instead of `int`.
* Introduce towire / fromwire functions to send / receive the newly added
type `errcode_t` and use it instead of `towire_int()`.
In addition:
* Remove the now unneeded `towire_int()`.
* Replace a hardcoded error code `-2` with a new constant
`INVOICE_EXPIRED_DURING_WAIT` (903).
Changelog-Changed: The waitinvoice command would now return error code 903 to designate that the invoice expired during wait, instead of the previous -2
I was wondering why TAGS was missing some functions, and finally
tracked it down: PRINTF_FMT() confuses etags if it's at the start
of a function, and it ignores the rest of the file.
So we put PRINTF_FMT at the end, but that doesn't work for
*definitions*, only *declarations*. So we remove it from definitions
and add gratuitous declarations in the few static places.1
