We introduced a minor issue in #5757 that was causing the manpages to
be added every time we regenerate instead of replacing them. The
script was a bit unscrutable, and we do this block-replacement in
several places I thought it might be a good idea to have a dedicated
tool to do it.
This allows us to have simpler Makefiles whenever we update a
generated block inside another file. It's python, but does not have
dependencies :-)
Changelog-None
This documents how to communicate with lightningd over RPC, including
use of the `filter` object.

Changelog-Added: Documentation: `lightningd-rpc` manual page describes details of our JSON-RPC interface, including compatibility and filtering.
Previous commit was a hack which *always* batched where possible, this
is a more sophisticated opt-in varaint, with a timeout sanity check.

Changelog-Added: JSON-RPC: `batching` command to allow database transactions to cross multiple back-to-back JSON commands.
And remove deprecated autocleaninvoice docs.
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
Changelog-Added: Plugins: `autoclean-status` command to see what autoclean is doing.
Changelog-Deprecated: JSON-RPC: `autocleaninvoice` (use option `autoclean-expiredinvoices-age`)
Using `listfowards` for this wrong; expose this directly if people
care (and unlike listforwards, which could be deleted, we have to
remember these while the channel is still open!).

Changelog-Added: JSON-RPC: `listhtlcs` new command to list all known HTLCS.
Adds schema definitions and manpages for bkpr- commands; also renames
the commands to all start with 'bkpr-', so they're easier to identify/
make runes about.
This was introduced to allow creating a shared secret, but it's better to use
makesecret which creates unique secrets. getsharedsecret being a generic ECDH
function allows the caller to initiate conversations as if it was us; this
is generally OK, since we don't allow untrusted API access, but the commando
plugin had to blacklist this for read-only runes explicitly.
Since @ZmnSCPxj never ended up using this after introducing it, simply
remove it.

Changelog-Removed: JSONRPC: `getsharedsecret` API: use `makesecret`
Mostly comments and docs: some places are actually paths, which
I have avoided changing. We may migrate them slowly, particularly
when they're user-visible.

Based on setchannelfee, but expanded to allow setting max htlc amount (and others
in future?).
The main differences:
1. It doesn't change values which are not specified (that would be hard to
add fields to!)
2. It says exactly what all values are in any potentially changed channels.
Changelog-Added: JSON-RPC: new `setchannel` command generalizes `setchannelfee`.

Changelog-Added: JSON-RPC: `datastore`, `deldatastore` and `listdatastore` for plugins to store simple persistent key/value data.
Documentation for the funderupdate command on the funder plugin.
Realized we were missing the "leases_only" in the output; also adds
'_msat' to msat denominated outputs so they're parsed correctly by our
python bindings (also matches our naming conventions)
Changelog-EXPERIMENTAL: funder: `funderupdate` command to view and update params for contributing our wallet funds to v2 channel openings. Provides params for enabling `option_will_fund`.
Useful for parsing a passed in feerate before calling lightningd with
it, e.g. when you need to know what the feerate is for a fundpsbt before
calling fundpsbt
Changelog-Added: JSON-RPC: new command `parsefeerate` which takes a feerate string and returns the calculated perkw/perkb
Enable non-dev builds to send custom messages.
Preserves 'dev-' for compat-enabled builds.
Changelog-Changed: JSON-RPC: moved dev-sendcustommsg to sendcustommsg
Allows us to clean up an in-progress open that we won't be completing
Changelog-Added: EXPERIMENTAL JSON-RPC: Permit user-initiated aborting of in-progress opens. Only valid for not-yet-committed opens and RBF-attempts
This is experimental for now, but can eventually deprecated
'decodepay' and even decode other kinds of messages.

We split `send_invoice` offers inoo offerout (for want of a better name).
This simplifies the API.
Also took the opportunity to move the `vendor` tag to immediately
follow `description` (our tests use arguments by keywords, so no
change there).

This takes an unsigned bolt11 (or bolt12 if EXPERIMENTAL_FEATURES) string
and signs it and puts it in the database.
The invoice command could now be moved out to a plugin, in fact.

This lets callers enable notifications; we won't send any if they don't.
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
Changelog-Added: JSON-RPC: `notifications` command to enable notifications.
`openchannel_signed` and `openchannel_update` which allow a user to
continue a openchannel or kick off the completion of a openchannel.
`openchannel_update` should be called until it returns with
`commitments_secured`.
There are 3 commands for opening a channel with dualfunding.
`openchannel_init` is the first of these.
It initializes the open-channel dialog, and stops once we've run out of
updates (input/outputs) to send to the peer.
Changelog-Added: JSON-RPC: delpay a new method to delete the payment completed or failed.

Fixes: #2679
Changelog-Added: JSON-RPC: New `multiwithdraw` command to batch multiple onchain sends in a single transaction. Note it shuffles inputs and outputs, does not use BIP69.
It's *possible* to do this using various RPC calls, but it's
unfriendly:
1. Call getinfo to get the current block height.
2. Call listfunds to map the UTXOs.
3. Create the PSBT and hope you get all the fields correct.
Instead, this presents an interface just like `fundpsbt`, with identical
returns.
I think it's different enough to justify a new command (though it
shares much internally, of course).
In particular, it's now quite simple to create a command which uses
specified utxos, and then adds more to meet any shortfall.

Changelog-Added: We now install `lightning-hsmtool` for your `hsm_secret` needs.
See: https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/issues/3717#issuecomment-644844594
It seems reasonable to add this to the standard install, and to document it properly as well, hopefully we can fill in the documentation better later on.
This regroups questions (frequently) seen in Github issues, on IRC, and
also some I've been asked in face to face.
Changelog-Added: doc: An FAQ was added, accessible at https://lightning.readthedocs.io/FAQ.html

ChangeLog-Added: New `getsharedsecret` command, which lets you compute a shared secret with this node knowing only a public point. This implements the BOLT standard of hashing the ECDH point, and is incompatible with ECIES.
