This pass to json_stream helpers for commands outputs, but keeps
compatibility with existing plugins which use jout as of now, by not
starting/closing the "result"/"error" objects.
Now we have streams and a global object, we can use them for io_plans.
This makes the logic closer from lightningd/plugin (it has been mostly
stolen from here), and simplifies the main.
This also allows plugins to use io_plans (thanks to the io_loop) for
asynchronous connections.
This commit only handle incoming commands.
GCC 10 defaults to `-fno-common`. no longer automatically sharing
global variable definitions, which makes it important to define
them in only one place (otherwise there will be duplicate definition
errors). Add `extern` qualifiers where (I think) is the best place for
them.
Before this patch we used `int` for error codes. The problem with
`int` is that we try to pass it to/from wire and the size of `int` is
not defined by the standard. So a sender with 4-byte `int` would write
4 bytes to the wire and a receiver with 2-byte `int` (for example) would
read just 2 bytes from the wire.
To resolve this:
* Introduce an error code type with a known size:
`typedef s32 errcode_t`.
* Change all error code macros to constants of type `errcode_t`.
Constants also play better with gdb - it would visualize the name of
the constant instead of the numeric value.
* Change all functions that take error codes to take the new type
`errcode_t` instead of `int`.
* Introduce towire / fromwire functions to send / receive the newly added
type `errcode_t` and use it instead of `towire_int()`.
In addition:
* Remove the now unneeded `towire_int()`.
* Replace a hardcoded error code `-2` with a new constant
`INVOICE_EXPIRED_DURING_WAIT` (903).
Changelog-Changed: The waitinvoice command would now return error code 903 to designate that the invoice expired during wait, instead of the previous -2
The fundchannel plugin needs to know how to build a transaction, so we need to
tell it which chainparams to use. Also adds `chainparams` as a global, since
that seems to be the way to do things in plugins.
We now hand around struct json_out members, rather than using formatted
strings, so plugins need to construct them properly.
There's no automatic conversion between ' and " any more, so those
are eliminated too. pay still uses some manual construction of elements.

Since this handles escaping for us, this automatically fixes our previous
escaping issued.

1. Allow timers to be freed in their callback.
2. Clarify in header that we have to terminate our timer with timer_finished()
eventually.
3. We don't currently have plugins with more than one outstanding timer, but
it certainly would be possible, so fix in_timer to be a counter.
