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

- 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.

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.

Naively, this would be 250 satoshi per sipa, but it's not since bitcoind's
fee calculation was not rewritten to deal with weight, but instead bolted
on using vbytes.
The resulting calculations made me cry; I dried my tears on the thorns
of BUILD_ASSERT (I know that makes no sense, but bear with me here as I'm
trying not to swear at my bitcoind colleagues right now).

We would `block_map_add` inside `add_tip`, but we never
`block_map_del` inside `remove_tip`, which is dangerous as
we actually `tal_free` the block inside `remove_tip`.
Our CI did not reliably trap this problem since block
hashes are random and rerunning the `test_blockchaintrack`
often passed spuriously.
Our testing also reveals a bug: we start lightningd and shut it down
before fully processing the blockchain, so we don't set
last_processed_block. Fix that by setting it immediately once we have
a block: worst case it goes backwards a little.

We do a complicated dance because we don't know the current block
height before setting up the topology.
If we're starting at a particular block, we want to go back 100 blocks
before that to cover any reorgs.
If we're not (fresh startup), we still want to go back 100 blocks
because we don't bother handling a reorg which removes all the blocks
we know.

We usually did this, but sometimes they were named after what they did,
rather than what they cleaned up.
There are still a few exceptions:
1. I didn't bother creating destroy_xxx wrappers for htable routines
which already existed.
2. Sometimes destructors really are used for side-effects (eg. to simply
mark that something was freed): these are clearer with boutique names.
3. Generally destructors are static, but they don't need to be: in some
cases we attach a destructor then remove it later, or only attach
to *some* cases. These are best with qualifiers in the destroy_<type>
name.

Since we panic when we see our root reorg out, even if we're not doing

We used to load the new tip and work backwards until we joined up with
the previous tip. That consumed quite a lot of memory if there were
many blocks.
Instead, just poll on blocknum+1, and grab it once that succeeds. If
prev is different from what we expect (reorg), we free the current tip
and try again.
We could theoretically miss a reorg which is the same length (2 block
reorg with more work due to difficulty adjustment), but even if that
happened we'd catch up on the next block.

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.
