The probability for a success forward of x amount on a channel is now
computed as:
P_success(x) = b * P_rene(x)
where P_rene(x) is the probability distribution proposed by Rene
Pickhardt with a uniform distribution on the known liquidity of the
channel and 'b' is a new parameter we add in this PR, by the name of
"base probability". The "base probability" represents the probability
for a channel in the network choosen at random to be able to forward at
least 1msat, ie. of being alive, non-depleted and with at least one HTLC
slot. We don't know the value of 'b', but for the moment we assume that
it is 0.98 and use that as default.
As a consequence the probability cost becomes non-linear and non-convex
because of the additional constant term:
Cost(x) = - log P_success(x)
= - log b - - log P_rene(x)
= - log b + Cost_rene(x)
We currently don't handle well base fees and neither this additional
"base probability" but we can as a first approximation linearize the
cost function in this way:
Cost_linear(x) = (- log b)*x + Cost_rene_linear(x)
Changelog-Added: renepay: Add a dev parameter to renepay that represents
a constant probability of availability for all channels in the network.

msggen cannot handle the complex type in renepay-exclude,
therefore I added a rule override for it, just like pay-exclude.

Changelog-EXPERIMENTAL: renepay: add cli option "exclude" to manually disable channels and nodes.
Expecting to have more than just a bunch of disabled channels if we
prune the lightning network heavily I am changing the internal data
structure of disabledmap from a simple array to a hashtable.
Have a finer control over disabled channels by targeting
short_channel_id_dir instead of short_channel_id,
ie. we can disable a single direction of a channel.

Changelog-Fixed: renepay: finalized routes have to be processed and
determine the payment status even after the payment goes into the
background (no current command active). Not doing so leads to finalized
routes getting stuck in the payment internal data structure and their
associated HTLCs in the uncertainty network don't get released.

Simply move the "computed routes" array from the payment to the
routetracker. It makes sense to put all temporary stages of routing into
a single data structure: the routetracker.
Signed-off-by: Lagrang3 <lagrang3@protonmail.com>
Routes contain only routing information and the payment they're linked
to can be obtained through the payment_hash. We remove the dependency of
route building routines from the payment itself. In order to make
plain payment information available we define a payment_info structure.
- use switch case over all possible WIRE_* errors,
- remove the virtual machine for routefail, use a simple two step
solution: 1. update the gossip and 2. handle error cases
Min. Cost Flow does not take into account fees when computing a flow
with liquidity constraints.
This is a work-around solution that reduces the amount on every route to
respect the liquidity bound. The deficity in the delivered amount is
solved by running MCF once again.
Changes:
1. the function `flow_complete` allocates amounts to send over the set of routes
computed by the MCF algorithm, but it does not allocate more than liquidity
bound of the route. For this reason `minflow` returns a set of routes that
satisfy the liquidity bounds but it is not guaranteed that the total payment
reaches the destination therefore there could a deficit in the delivery:
`deficit = amount_to_deliver - delivering`.
2. in the function `add_payflows` after `minflow` returns a set of routes we
call `flows_fit_amount` that tries to a allocate the `deficit` in the routes
that the MCF have computed.
3. if the resulting flows pass all payment constraints then we update
`amount_to_deliver = amount_to_deliver - delivering`, and the loop
repeats as long as `amount_to_deliver` is not zero.
In other words, the excess amount, beyond the liquidity bound,
in the routes is removed and then we try to allocate it
into known routes, otherwise we do a whole MCF again just for the
remaining amount.
Fixes issue #6599
We will get localmods from gossmods_from_listpeerchannels in the next commit,
so we need to save routehints to add to that later.

The main function here is payment_reconsider:
* Each payment has a list of pay_flow.
* This is populated in try_paying(), calling add_payflows & sendpay_new_flows.
* When we get a notification, we resolve a pay_flow using one of the pay_flow_failedxxx
or pay_flow_succeeded functions.
* They call payment_reconsider() which cleans up finished flows decides what to do:
often calling try_paying again.

There are a few fields in `struct renepay` which are genuinely
transient, but it makes the code much harder to follow than simply
having a single structure.
More cleanups will follow, but this is the minimal set.

The general pattern for xxx_new is that it should populate all
fields, for encapsulation and so you never can have a half-formed
object.
This means a fair bit of work for now, but it pays off in the next
patch.

You cannot refresh the gossmap with localmods applied, nor apply localmods
when others have applied localmods in the same process.
There are optimizations we could do, but for now always apply/unapply before
querying gossmap.

- fix wrong comments.
- remove the background timer.
- This is a bugfix. Previous to this the MCF network was built using the
knowledge of the min and max liquidity but it didn't take into account
pending HTLCs.
- Also remove the min_prob_success option but hardcode a 90% value.
Removing some options that are not relevant to the user, they're kept
for developer mode only:
- base_fee_penalty
- min_prob_success
- prob_cost_factor
- remove heap.h, not used
