The protocol still supports both, but we now only support blocks.
It's hard to do risk management with timeouts in seconds, given block
variance. This is also signficantly simpler, as HTLC timeouts are
always fired in response to blocks, not wall-clock times.

Uses a gcc extension (cast to union) for typechecking, but that can be
removed for compilers which don't support it.

Currently this mean --bitcoin-poll; we're going to change the other time
options to block heights anyway.

Since bitcoind doesn't propagate non-main chains, there's little point
trying to be smart when we see them. This simplifies things immensely.

It's primitive, but we re-broadcast any txs not included in the main
chain every time the tip moves. We only track transactions we are
watching, but that turns out to cover every transaction we generate
anyway.

This turns out to make life easier for watching HTLC timeouts (we just
place a new watch for each HTLC).

Since any transaction with all segregated-witness inputs is non-malleable,
and all our transactions are that, we can remove normalized txids.

There isn't a single blockhash; we may be on multiple forks. But the one
caller which cares is commit_tx_depth(), which wants to know if the tx is
spendable yet. So that uses get_last_mediantime().

Rather than polling for interesting bitcoin txs via importaddress, we use
the chain topology to register our interest directly.x

This gets the median time of the block the tx is in. If there is more
than one (different tips), it gets the last median time.

This allows us to track precise transaction depth ourselves,
particularly in the case of branching.
