Fixes: #1806
Changelog-Added: config: `force_feerates` option to allow overriding feerate estimates (mainly for regtest).
Changelog-Deprecated: plugin: `bcli` replacements should note that `sendrawtransaction` now has a second required Boolean argument, `allowhighfees`, which if `true`, means ignore any fee limits and just broadcast the transaction. Use `--deprecated-apis` to use older `bcli` replacement plugins that only support a single argument.
We're not going to mutate transactions in a block, so computing the txids
every time we need them is a waste, let's compute them upfront and use them
afterwards.
We were basing the 2016 block timeout on the blockchain height that we had
processed at the time completed the funding, which could lag considerably
behind the network-wide blockheight. For example this could happen if we
started with `--rescan` from a low height, taking some time to catch up.
This means that we could end up forgetting channels even before reaching the
network blockheight. This patch instead uses the headercount reported by the
backend plugin if we aren't caught up yet. While the chances of this happening
are still there, the window it might happen are much reduced, since headers
can be synced in a couple of minutes.

Changelog-Changed: Funding timeout is now based on the header count reported by the bitcoin backend instead of our current blockheight which might be lower.
We kept track of an URGENT, a NORMAL, and a SLOW feerate. They were used
for opening (NORMAL), mutual (NORMAL), UNILATERAL (URGENT) transactions
as well as minimum and maximum estimations, and onchain resolution.
We now keep track of more fine-grained feerates:
- `opening` used for funding and also misc transactions
- `mutual_close` used for the mutual close transaction
- `unilateral_close` used for unilateral close (commitment transactions)
- `delayed_to_us` used for resolving our output from our unilateral close
- `htlc_resolution` used for resolving onchain HTLCs
- `penalty` used for resolving revoked transactions
We don't modify our requests to our Bitcoin backend, as the next commit
will batch them !
Changelog-deprecated: The "urgent", "slow", and "normal" field of the `feerates` command are now deprecated.
Changelog-added: The fields "opening", "mutual_close", "unilateral_close", "delayed_to_us", "htlc_resolution" and "penalty" have been added to the `feerates` command.
If the same memory gets reallocated, our "has the tip changed?" test
gets a false negative. This happened for me about one time in 10,
causing tests/test_misc.py::test_funding_reorg_remote_lags to fail.

- result fundchannel command now depends on successful or failed broadcast of the funding tx
- failure returns error code FUNDING_BROADCAST_FAIL
- don't fail the channel when broadcast failed, but keep in CHANNELD_AWAITING_LOCKIN
- after fixing the initial broadcast failure, the user could manually rebroadcast the tx and
keep the channel
openingd/opening_funder_finished:
- broadcast_tx callback function now handles both success and failure
jsonrpc: added error code FUNDING_BROADCAST_FAIL
manpage: added error code returned by fundchannel command
This makes the user more aware of broadcast failure, so it hopefully doesn't
try to broadcast new tx's that depend on its change_outputs. Some users have reported (see
issue #2171) a whole sequence of fundings failing, because each funding was using the change
output of the previous one, which would not confirm.
Handers of a specific form are both designed to be used as callbacks
for param(), and also dispose of the command if something goes wrong.
Make them return the 'struct command_result *' from command_failed(),
or NULL.
Renaming them just makes sense: json_tok_XXX is used for non-command-freeing
parsers too.

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.

- 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!

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'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.
