Not necessary yet, but it will be once shutdown starts waiting for
plugins to respond: we don't want these to try to access the bcli
plugin once it's freed.

Changelog-Deprecated: plugin: `bcli` replacements should note that `sendrawtransaction` now has a second required Boolean argument, `allowhighfees`, which if `true`, means ignore any fee limits and just broadcast the transaction. Use `--deprecated-apis` to use older `bcli` replacement plugins that only support a single argument.
This adapts our fee estimations requests to the Bitcoin backend to the
new semantic, and batch the requests.
This makes our request for fees much simpler, and leaves some more
flexibility for a plugin to do something smart (it could still lie before
but now it's explicit, at least.) as we don't explicitly request
estimation for a specific mode and a target.
Changelog-Changed: We now batch the requests for fee estimation to our Bitcoin backend.
Changelog-Changed: We now get more fine-grained fee estimation from our Bitcoin backend.
This avoids the getblockhash+getblock, and more importantly that was the
last functionality making use of bitcoind_getrawblock() and bitcoin_getblockhash(),
so we can also get rid of them.
This adds `getchaininfo` and `getrawblockbyheight` handling lightningd-side,
and use them in setup_topology().
We then remove legacy bitcoind_getblockcount() (we already get the count in
`getchaininfo`), bitcoind_getblockchaininfo() (it was only used in setup_topology()),
and wait_for_bitcoind() (this was specific to bitcoin-core and we assume our Bitcoin
backend to be functional if the plugin responds to `init`).
Instead of allowing all calls to `getfilteredblock` to be scheduled on the
`bitcoind` queue right away we instead add them in a separate queue, and
process a single call at a time. This limits the concurrency and avoids
thrashing `bitcoind`. At the same time we dispatch incoming results back to
all calls that were queued for that particular blockheight, reducing the
overall number of calls and an increase in overall speed.

This will eventually replace the multi-step `getblockhash` + `getblock` +
`gettxout` mechanism, and return entire filtered blocks which can be added to
the DB, and represent the full set of P2WSH UTXOs.

With the previous patch, we could still get stuck behind a low-prio
request. Generalize it into separate queues, and allow more than one
request in parallel.
Worth noting that the test time for `VALGRIND=0 pytest -vx tests/ -n 10`
doesn't change measurably.

Turn req_running into a pointer to the current bcli structure, which means
the leak detection can find it.
Also suppress leaks in the case where we're only attached to a timer

We may need to lookup UTXO entries for other reasons, so here we
disentangle it and make it into its own method.

Might help alleviate some of the issues of having to run a full-node

It would be nice if bitcoind had an RPC to do this in one, but that's
a bit much to ask for. We could also hand around proofs, for lite nodes.

It's just a sha256_double, but importantly when we convert it to a
string (in type_to_string, which is used in logging) we use
bitcoin_blkid_to_hex() so it's reversed as people expect.

The wire protocol uses this, in the assumption that we'll never see feerates
in excess of 4294967 satoshi per kiloweight.
So let's use that consistently internally as well.

Depending on what we're doing, we can want different ones. So use
IMMEDIATE (estimatesmartfee 2 CONSERVATIVE), NORMAL (estimatesmartfee
4 ECONOMICAL) and SLOW (estimatesmartfee 100 ECONOMICAL).
If one isn't available, we try making each one half the previous.

This means we convert it when retrieving from bitcoind; internally it's
always satoshi-per-1000-weight aka millisatoshi-per-weight.

This is a subset of a "bitcoind: wrap callbacks in transaction." from

We don't hit this in testing, since we wait for startup already. Hacking
tests to avoid that, I tested this code by hand.

lightningd can crash on shutdown if it's in the middle of getchaintips;
we free the conn, the finished callback is called (process_chaintips),
and it reports that it received an empty result.
The simplest fix is to set a flag in the struct bitcoind destructor,
and avoid the callback.

Some fields were redundant, some are simply moved into 'struct lightningd'.
All routines updated to hand 'struct lightningd *ld' now.

Also, we split the more sophisticated json_add helpers to avoid pulling in
everything into lightning-cli, and unify the routines to print struct
short_channel_id (it's ':', not '/' too).
