Such an API is required for when we stream it directly. Almost all our
handlers fit this pattern already, or nearly do.
We remove new_json_result() in favor of explicit json_stream_success()
and json_stream_fail(), but still allowing command_fail() if you just
want a simple all-in-one fail wrapper.

We do this a lot, and had boutique helpers in various places. So add
a more generic one; for convenience it returns a pointer to the new
end element.
I prefer the name tal_arr_expand to tal_arr_append, since it's up to
the caller to populate the new array entry.

It's probably unnecessary to have this weird way of injecting results
now we have explicit feerate args.

We could refine this later (based on existing wallet, for example), but
this gives some estimate.

We don't know what our peer is doing, but if we see those values, maybe
they did too, and for longer. And add the min/max acceptable values

This is useful mainly in the case where bitcoind is not giving estimates,

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).

We use feerate in several places, and each one really should react
differently when it's not available (such as when bitcoind is still
catching up):
1. For general fee-enforcement, we use the broadest possible limits.
2. For closingd, we use it as our opening negotiation point: just use half
the last tx feerate.
3. For onchaind, we can use the last tx feerate as a guide for our own txs;
it might be too high, but at least we know it was sufficient to be mined.
4. For withdraw and fund_channel, we can simply refuse.

Manipulate fees via fake-bitcoin-cli. It's not quite the same, as
these are pre-smoothing, so we need a restart to override that where
we really need an exact change. Or we can wait until it reaches a
certain value in cases we don't care about exact amounts.
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
Not just during startup: we could have bitcoind not give estimates until
later, but we don't want to smooth with zero.
The test changes in next patch trigger this, so I didn't write a test
with this patch.

Normal wallet txs get reconfirmed as blocks come in, but ones which need
closeinfo are more fragile, so we do it manually using txwatch for them.

- fixes problem with polling interval > 150 * 0.9
- fixes log message 'feerate hit floor' at every feerate change
- smoothed fee now reaches 90% of (exp weighted) fee estimates polled in last
120s, independent of polling interval
- only apply smoothing when effect > 10 percent so it doesn't correct forever
- fix indentation
structeq() is too dangerous: if a structure has padding, it can fail
silently.
The new ccan/structeq instead provides a macro to define foo_eq(),
which does the right thing in case of padding (which none of our
structures currently have anyway).
Upgrade ccan, and use it everywhere. Except run-peer-wire.c, which
is only testing code and can use raw memcmp(): valgrind will tell us
if padding exists.
Interestingly, we still declared short_channel_id_eq, even though
we didn't define it any more!

`getinfo` has been providing the blockheight for a good while and doesn't
require the `DEVELOPER=1` flag during compilation, so it should be the preferred
method to retrieve the blockchain height.
Implements an EWMA for the fee estimation. Achieves 90% influence of the newer
fee after 5 minutes, and adjusts to the polling rate that is configured.
Until now, `command_fail()` reported an error code of -1 for all uses.
This PR adds an `int code` parameter to `command_fail()`, requiring the
caller to explicitly include the error code.
This is part of #1464.
The majority of the calls are used during parameter validation and
their error code is now JSONRPC2_INVALID_PARAMS.
The rest of the calls report an error code of LIGHTNINGD, which I defined to
-1 in `jsonrpc_errors.h`. The intention here is that as we improve our error
reporting, all occurenaces of LIGHTNINGD will go away and we can eventually
remove it.
I also converted calls to `command_fail_detailed()` that took a `NULL` `data`
parameter to use the new `command_fail()`.
The only difference from an end user perspecive is that bad input errors that
used to be -1 will now be -32602 (JSONRPC2_INVALID_PARAMS).
Make --override-fee-rates a dev option. We use default-fee-rate in
its place, which (since bitcoind won't give fee estimates in regtest
mode for short chains) gives an effective feerate of 15000/7500/3750.

We never hit the guess_feerate() path, because we turned a 0 ("can't
estimate fee") into 253.
This also revealed that we weren't initializing topo->feerate, and
that we were giving spurious updates even if we were using override-fee-rates.
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
We're getting spurious closures, even on mainnet. Using --ignore-fee-limits
is dangerous; it's slightly less so to lower the minimum (which is the
usual cause of problems).
So let's halve it, but beware the floor.
This is a workaround, until we get independent feerates in the spec.

Simplification of the offset calculation to use the rescan parameter, and rename
of `wallet_first_blocknum`. We now use either relative rescan from our last
known location, or absolute if a negative rescan was given. It's all handled in
a single location (except the case in which the blockcount is below our
precomputed offset), so this should reduce surprises.
