At the moment we simply get a crypto log line on exit:
bitcoin-cli getblockchaininfo: invalid response
Fixes: 6deed77d88

At the beginning of the lightningd, we use "echo" command to check if bitcoin-cli is running.
Now we raplace "echo" with "getblockchaininfo" for this check, and also check whether the "chain" field in response is same as the blockchain that lightningd is on.
"getblockchaininfo" is also valid for litecoin-cli.
1. bcli_args_direct() will be used in wait_for_bitcoind;
At the beginning, we check if bitcoin-cli is running by "echo" command
whitout any bitcoin_cli struction. If this first command fails, we need
present the agrs gathered, like "-rpcuser", like "-rpcpassword".
Related changes include:
i) rename bcli_args() to bcli_args_direct(), and use 'const char **'
as the paramater for bcli_args_direct();
ii) add a new function bcli_args() warpped on bcli_args_direct(), this
warpping can reduce the large number of changes later in the file;
2. bcli_args() warpping on bcli_args_direct() is used like original.

To fix this, we actually make 'ld->timers' a pointer, so we can clean
it up last of all. We can't free it before ld, because that causes
timers to be destroyed.

We need to do it in various places, but we shouldn't do it lightly:
the primitives are there to help us get overflow handling correct.

Christian and I both unwittingly used it in form:
*tal_arr_expand(&x) = tal(x, ...)
Since '=' isn't a sequence point, the compiler can (and does!) cache
the value of x, handing it to tal *after* tal_arr_expand() moves it
due to tal_resize().
The new version is somewhat less convenient to use, but doesn't have
this problem, since the assignment is always evaluated after the
resize.

These are only supposed to be used when you want the token contents including

When developing in regtest or testnet it is really inconvenient to
have to fake traffic and generate blocks just to get estimatesmartfee
to return a valid estimate. This just sets the minfee if bitcoind
doesn't return a valid estimate.

During tests, this is half our log! And Travis truncates it if we get

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.

With the previous patch, we could still get stuck behind a low-prio
request. Generalize it into separate queues, and allow more than one
request in parallel.
Worth noting that the test time for `VALGRIND=0 pytest -vx tests/ -n 10`
doesn't change measurably.

fiatjaf has a cheap VPS, connecting remotely to his home bitcoind node.
fiatjaf's latency on bitcoin-cli getblock is between 10 and 37 seconds.
fiatjaf's c-lightning node is getting one block per hour.
fiatjaf is sad.
We single-file our bitcoind requests, because bitcoind has a limited
thread pool and it *fails* rather than queueing if you upset it. We
probably be fine using separate queues for each command type, but simply
allowing some requests to cut in line should prove my theory that we're
getting stuck behind gossip verification requests.
fiatjaf now gets one block per 2 minutes.
fiatjaf is less sad.

Turn req_running into a pointer to the current bcli structure, which means
the leak detection can find it.
Also suppress leaks in the case where we're only attached to a timer

If we're going to simply take() a pointer, don't allocate it off a random
object. Using NULL makes our intent clear, particularly with allocating
packets we're going to take() onto a queue.

Improve usability in these scenarios:
* bitcoin-cli not available in PATH and/or bitcoind not running
* bitcoin-cli available in PATH but bitcoind is not running
There are two recurring calls: the estimatefee call and the
getblockcount call. Currently we simply discard them on error, the
timer isn't rearmed.
This should fix a number of cases where bitcoind has an intermittant
failure and lightningd simply stops collecting blocks.

This is a common occurence on pruned nodes. By calling the callback
upon failures, we communicate that we couldn't verify the txoutput. We
fail safe rejecting any channel we can't verify.

It's just a sha256_double, but importantly when we convert it to a

We have things which we don't keep a pointer to, but aren't leaks.
Some are simply eternal (eg. listening sockets), others cases are

Depending on what we're doing, we can want different ones. So use

lightningd can crash on shutdown if it's in the middle of getchaintips;
we free the conn, the finished callback is called (process_chaintips),
and it reports that it received an empty result.
The simplest fix is to set a flag in the struct bitcoind destructor,
and avoid the callback.
