"multi" means that specifying a parameter twice will append, not override.
Multi args are always given as a JSON array, even if only one.

Changelog-Added: Plugins: new "multi" field allows an option to be specified multiple times.
This was fixed in 0.8.2.

Changelog-Removed: plugins: options to init are no longer given as strings if they are bool or int types (deprecated in 0.8.2).
This effectively reverts ac93b780d5.
Christian points out that plugins need time before we deprecate
the old options (probably 6 months) as they need to work with
both old and new.
Changelog-Deprecated: **UNDO** plugins: hooks should now be specified using objects, not raw names.

We previously registered hooks up in who-replies-to-getmanifest-first
order, but then if any had dependencies it would scatter that order.
This allows users to manually set dependencies developers have
forgotten by specifying the plugins manually in their configuration or
cmdline. This was an excellent consideration by @mschmook.

Changelog-Deprecated: plugins: hooks should now be specified using objects, not raw names.
The next patch will use these to order the hooks.
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
Changelog-Added: plugins: hooks can now specify that they must be called 'before' or 'after' other plugins.
And make caller of json_stream_forward_change_id use it, since
we're going to reuse that.
Also call json_out_finished here, so next object doesn't have a ","
prepended.

Note that check-whitespace and check-bolt already do this, so we
can eliminate redundant lines in common/Makefile and bitcoin/Makefile.
We also include the plugin headers in ALL_C_HEADERS so they get
checked.

I got a corrupt file, which looked like multiple concurrent attempts
to build it. So instead, build it in one command, but also use
VERBOSE so we print correctly with V=1 (and --quiet).
Also move into plugins/ where it logically belongs.

Changelog-Removed: Plugin: Relative plugin paths are not relative to startup (deprecated v0.7.2.1)
PR #3957 improved performance considerably, however we still look over the
entire message for the message separator. If instead we just look in the
incrementally read data, we remove the quadratic behavior for large messages.
This is safe since we then loop over the messages which would drain any
message separator from the buffer before we attempt the next read.

Changelog-Fixed: JSON-RPC: significant speedups for plugins which create large JSON replies (e.g. listpays on large nodes).
The jsmn parser is a beautiful piece of code. In particular, you can parse
part of a string, then continue where you left off.
We don't take advantage of this, however, meaning for large JSON objects
we parse them multiple times before finally having enough to complete.
Expose the parser state and tokens through the API, so the caller can pass
them in repeatedly. For the moment, every caller is allocates each time
(except the unit tests).

This lets us handle it the same way we handle builtin commands, and also

Changelog-Added: Plugins: can now mark their options and commands deprecated.
This allows plugins to choose how to present things in getmanifest.
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
Changelog-Added: plugins: `getmanifest` may now include "allow-deprecated-apis" boolean flag.
Changelog-Deprecated: plugins: `getmanifest` without any parameters; plugins should accept any parameters for future use.
Changelog-Added: New option `--important-plugin` loads a plugin is so important that if it dies, `lightningd` will exit rather than continue. You can still `--disable-plugin` it, however, which trumps `--important-plugin` and it will not be started at all.
`listconfigs` calls were setting the description twice and was using the
pointer to the boolean value as the boolean value, resulting in always
returning `true`.
There's no reason to assign the plugin vars inside the callback, so do
that outside, and the tal_steal() is redundant (the plugin is already
the conn parent).
And reduce duplication by making plugin_conn_finish call plugin_kill:
just make sure we don't call plugin_conn_finish again if plugin_kill
is called externally.

The previous implementation was a bit lazy: in particular, since we didn't
remember the disabled plugins, we would load them on rescan.
Changelog-Changed: config: the `plugin-disable` option works even if specified before the plugin is found.
1. Make the destructor call check_plugins_resolved(),
unless it was uninitialized (`opt_disable_plugin`).
2. Remove redundant list_del (destructor already does it).

That's more convenient for most callers, which don't need a fmt.

This is what I expected from plugin_kill, and now all the callers do the
equivalent anywat, it's easy.
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
Instead of calling plugin_kill() and returning, have them
uniformly return an error string or NULL, and have the top
level (plugin_read_json) do the plugin_kill() call.

This means we now clean up options in startup plugins (that was only
done by dynamic code!), and now they both share the 60 second timeout
instead of 20 seconds for dynamic.
For the dynamic case though, it's 60 seconds to both complete
getmanifest and init, which seems fair.
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
This will allow the dynamic starting code to use them too.
Also lets us move dev_debug_subprocess under #if DEVELOPER.
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
This will let us unify the startup and runtime-started infrastructure.
Note that there are two kinds of notifications:
1. Starting a single plugin (i.e. `plugin start`)
2. Starting multiple plugins (i.e. `plugin rescan` or `plugin startdir`).
In the latter case, we want the command to complete only once *all*
the plugins are dead/finished.
We also call plugin_kill() in all cases, and correctly return afterwards
(it matters once we use the same paths for dynamic plugins, which don't
cause a fatal error if they don't startup).

The symptom (under heavy load and valgrind) in test_plugin_command:
lightningd: common/json_stream.c:237: json_stream_output_: Assertion `!js->reader' failed.
This is because we try to call `getmanifest` again on `pay` which has not yet
responded to init.
The minimal fix for this is to keep proper state, so we can tell the
difference between "not yet called getmanifest" and "not yet finished
init".

We use the new function `plugins_free` to define the correct deallocation
order on shutdown, since under normal operation the allocation tree is
organized to allow plugins to terminate and automatically free all dependent
resources. During shutdown the deallocation order is under-defined since
siblings may get freed in any order, but we implicitly rely on them staying
around.
