Some Linux OSs impose a length limit on the path a Unix socket may have. This
is not an issue in `lightningd` since we `chdir()` into that directory before
opening the socket, however in pyln this became a problem for some tests,
since we use absolute paths in the testing framework. It's also a rather
strange quirk to expose to users.
This patch introduces a `UnixSocket` abstraction that attempts to work around
these limitations by aliasing the directory containing the socket into
`/proc/self/fd` and then connecting using that alias.
It was inspired by Open vSwitch code here https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/master/python/ovs/socket_util.py

Changelog-Added: RPC: `fundchannel` and `fundchannel_start` can now accept an optional parameter, `push_msat`, which will gift that amount of satoshis to the peer at channel open.
Thanks to @t-bast, who made this possible by interop testing with Eclair!
Changelog-Added: Protocol: can now send and receive TLV-style onion messages.
Changelog-Added: Protocol: can now send and receive BOLT11 payment_secrets.

addresses issue #2753.
Formatting the JSON with the default parameters will escape the unicode
symbols in a way that c-lightning won't allow, leading to an exception.
Changelog-Fixed: `pylightning` now handles unicode characters in JSON-RPC requests and responses correctly.
This should not affect any consumer of the API since we just shift the actual
implementation from one side to the other, and keep aliases in place so
scripts don't break.
We also bump the version number from 0.0.7.3 to 0.7.4 which allows us to be in
sync with c-lightning itself, and remove the superfluous `0` in front.
