f37f2b6193 common/memleak: simplify and document API.
1. Rename memleak_enter_allocations to memleak_find_allocations.
2. Unify scanning for pointers into memleak_remove_region / memleak_remove_pointer.
3. Document the functions.

e4c6fd89b7 Add missing extern qualifiers for gcc 10
GCC 10 defaults to `-fno-common`. no longer automatically sharing
global variable definitions, which makes it important to define
them in only one place (otherwise there will be duplicate definition
errors). Add `extern` qualifiers where (I think) is the best place for
them.

2652cc9704 common/memleak: simplify notleak() handling.
Use the same "child of tal object" trick to mark things "notleak".

That simplifies things and means we don't have to track them being
reallocated.

aca2e4f722 common/memleak: add dynamic hooks for assisting memleak.
Rather than reaching into data structures, let them register their own
callbacks.  This avoids us having to expose "memleak_remove_xxx"
functions, and call them manually.

Under the hood, this is done by having a specially-named tal child of
the thing we want to assist, containing the callback.

837e6232c3 common: reduce header differences for DEVELOPER vs non-DEVELOPER.
`make update-mocks` is usually run in DEVELOPER mode, but then it includes
definitions for functions which aren't declared in non-DEVELOPER mode.

We hacked this in a few places, but it's fragile, and worst, now we
have EXPERIMENTAL_FEATURES as well, it's complex.

Instead, declare developer-only functions (but don't define them).
This is a bit more awkward if you accidentally use one in
non-DEVELOPER code (link error rather than compile error), but makes
autogenerating test mocks much easier.

a2828ed40b memleak: allow for scanning non-talloc regions.
For some daemons we'll be handing it non-talloc memory to scan for pointers.

8733015836 memleak: don't require a root pointer.
We can just track everything from NULL (the ultimate parent) down.

112b7336a3 memleak: create and use a generic htable helper and generic intmap helper.
memleak can't see into htables, as it overloads unused pointer bits.
And it can't see into intmap, since they use malloc (it only looks for tal
pointers).

12a39b8a79 lightningd: fix backtraces in memleak detection.
We were using a *different* backtrace_state var, which was always NULL.

ee25547576 Re-enable builds with DEVELOPER=0
Two changes:
 - Fixed the function signature of noleak_ to match in both
   configurations
 - Added memleak.o to linker for tests

Generating the stubs for the unit tests doesn't really work since the
stubs are checked in an differ between the two configurations, so
adding memleak to the linker fixes that, by not requiring stubs to be
generated in the first place.

20fcb5d6ef memleak: allow marking of entire tal trees to be noleak.
In particular, the pay command attaches all kinds of stuff to the
struct command; they're not really a leak, since commands expire.

70d01b22e1 memleak: add second exclude arg to exclude current commands' jcon.
This is not a child of cmd, since they have independent lifetimes, but
we don't want to noleak them all, since it's only the one currently in
progress (and its children) that we want to exclude.

dfc132b2fe memleak: add backtrace to allocations.
We use the tal notifiers to attach a `backtrace` object on every
allocation.

This also means moving backtrace_state from log.c into lightningd.c, so
we can hand it to memleak_init().

c956d9f5eb lightningd: tal memleak detection, dev-memleak command.
This is a primitive mark-and-sweep-style garbage detector.  The core is
in common/ for later use by subdaemons, but for now it's just lightningd.
We initialize it before most other allocations.

We walk the tal tree to get all the pointers, then search the `ld`
object for those pointers, recursing down.  Some specific helpers are
required for hashtables (which stash bits in the unused pointer bits,
so won't be found).

There's `notleak()` for annotating things that aren't leaks: things
like globals and timers, and other semi-transients.
