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.
This makes use of the payment modifier structure to just add the preimage to
the TLV payload for the last hop.
Changelog-Added: JSON-RPC: The `keysend` command allows sending to a node without requiring an invoice first.
```
plugins/keysend.c:136:47: error: format specifies type 'unsigned long' but the argument has type 'time_t' (aka 'int') [-Werror,-Wformat]
ki->label = tal_fmt(ki, "keysend-%lu.%09lu", now.ts.tv_sec, now.ts.tv_nsec);
~~~ ^~~~~~~~~~~~~

Changelog-None
As discussed with Christian, prepending the length to the payload returned
is awkward, but it's the only way to set a legacy payload. As this will
be soon deprecated, simplify the external API.

So far we were relying on `lightningd` to create an ad-hoc invoice when
telling it to `resolve` with a given preimage. We now switch to having the
plugin create the invoice, remove the mandatory `keysend_preimage`
field (which would upset `lightningd` otherwise), and then return the modified
payload with the instructions to `continue` instead of resolving.
This ties back in with the existing payment/invoice handling code. Invoices
are created only if we don't have a label clash (unlikely since we have the
nano-time in the label), or the `payment_hash` was already used for another
invoice (at which point `lightningd` will automatically reject the payment and
we're a bit poorer for it, but meh :-)
This still uses the experimental TLV-type, but once the type is standardized
we can add detection for the new type quite easily.
Changelog-Added: pay: The `keysend` plugin implements the ability to receive spontaneous payments (keysend)
