The STDOUT fd being reused as communication sockets with other daemons
was causing some unexpected crashes if the sub-daemon wrote something,
e.g., using `log_*`. Not closing it should avoid that conflict.
Some of the struct array helpers need to allocate data when
deserializing their fields. The `getnodes` reply is one such example
that allocates the hostname. Since the change to calling array helpers
the getnodes call was broken because it was attempting to allocate off
of the entry, which did not have a tal header, thus failing.
Use msg_enqueue's wake and msg_queue_wait, and don't clone packets since
msg_enqueue() respects take.

We remove the unused status_send_fd, and rename status_send_sync (it
should only be used for that case now).
We add a status_setup_async(), and wire things internally to use that
if it's set up: status_setup() is renamed status_setup_sync().

This is a little more awkward, as we used to do some work
synchronously (the init message), but it's still pretty clear.

Since we use async IO, we can't use status_send. We keep a pointer to the
master daemon_conn, and use that to send.

The gossip subdaemon previously passed the fd after init: this is
unnecessary for peers which simply want to gossip (and not establish
channels).
Now we hand the gossip fd back with the peer fd. This adds another
error message for when we fail to create the gossip fds.

Instead of indicating where to place the fd, you say how many: the
fd array gets passed into the callback.
This is also clearer for the users.

This measn that gossip (which also wants to wake it) needs to wake
the queue, not the daemon_conn.

We use the fourth value (size) to determine the type, unless the fifth
value is suppled. That's silly: allow the fourth value to be a typename,
since that's the only reason we care about the size at all!
Unfortunately there are places in the spec where we use a raw fieldname
without '*1' for a length, so we have to distingish this from the
typename case.

Except for the trivial case of u8 arrays, have the generator create
the loop code for the array iteration.
This removes some trivial helpers, and avoids us having to write more.

subd_req() needs to get the type before it calls subd_send_msg, because
if it's take() then msg_enqueue() may reallocate.
Which also made me realize that subd_send_message() should not try to dup,
since msg_enqueue() handles that itself.

We have some duplication in handling queues, so this is an attempt at
deduplicating some of that work. `daemon_conn` now uses the
`msg_queue` and `channeld` was also migrated to `msg_queue`. At the
same time I made `msg_queue` create a copy of the messages or takes
over messages marked with `take()`. This should make cleaning up
messages easier.
This allows us to break out of the normal queue-based write loop and
handle things ourself for a while. Currently this is used to trigger
regular gossip dumps that do not proceed until the buffers have been
cleared in order to avoid memory-explosions.
We were firing off the wakeup timers all over the place, out of fear
that we would be triggering two concurrent broadcasts. This is not
really the case since the wakeup calls are idempotent. This also
allows us not to differentiate between triggering a broadcast on a
local peer or on a proxied peer.
This includes some code duplication, but since the two write targets
are fundamentally different we might need to refactor a bit more to
unify them again.
We will eventually ween off of the logging, or replace it with status
messages that log in `lightningd`, but for now we still have the
routing module that does some logging.
