This leads to all sorts of problems; in particular it's incredibly
slow (days, weeks!) if bitcoind is a long way back. This also changes
the behaviour of a rescan argument referring to a future block: we will
also refuse to start in that case, which I think is the correct behavior.
We already ignore bitcoind if it goes backwards while we're running.
Also cover a false positive memleak.
Changelog-Fixed: If bitcoind goes backwards (e.g. reindex) refuse to start (unless forced with --rescan).

It's less helpful, sure, but it's far better than someone
sending me their output and leaking this information.

Currently the only source for amount_asset is the value getter on a tx output,
and we don't hand it too far around (mainly ignoring it if it isn't the
chain's main currency). Eventually we could bubble them up to the wallet, use
them to select outputs or actually support assets in the channels.
Since we don't hand them around too widely I thought it was ok for them to be
pass-by-value rather than having to allocate them and pass them around by
reference. They're just 41 bytes currently so the overhead should be ok.

During sync it is highly likely that we can coalesce multiple calls and share
results among them. We also report back failures for non-existing blocks early
on, so we don't run into issues with blocks that our bitcoind doesn't have
yet.

Instead of allowing all calls to `getfilteredblock` to be scheduled on the
`bitcoind` queue right away we instead add them in a separate queue, and
process a single call at a time. This limits the concurrency and avoids
thrashing `bitcoind`. At the same time we dispatch incoming results back to
all calls that were queued for that particular blockheight, reducing the
overall number of calls and an increase in overall speed.

We will be calling the callback out of order once we fan out the results of a
single lookip to multiple calls, so being sure that everything is allocated
ahead of time is necessary.

Since we now check all P2WSH outputs in a block, this is getting quite a
common occurence, so logging just produces lots of noise.

This will eventually replace the multi-step `getblockhash` + `getblock` +
`gettxout` mechanism, and return entire filtered blocks which can be added to
the DB, and represent the full set of P2WSH UTXOs.

At the moment we simply get a crypto log line on exit:
bitcoin-cli getblockchaininfo: invalid response
Fixes: 6deed77d88
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
At the beginning of the lightningd, we use "echo" command to check if bitcoin-cli is running.
Now we raplace "echo" with "getblockchaininfo" for this check, and also check whether the "chain" field in response is same as the blockchain that lightningd is on.
"getblockchaininfo" is also valid for litecoin-cli.
1. bcli_args_direct() will be used in wait_for_bitcoind;
At the beginning, we check if bitcoin-cli is running by "echo" command
whitout any bitcoin_cli struction. If this first command fails, we need
present the agrs gathered, like "-rpcuser", like "-rpcpassword".
Related changes include:
i) rename bcli_args() to bcli_args_direct(), and use 'const char **'
as the paramater for bcli_args_direct();
ii) add a new function bcli_args() warpped on bcli_args_direct(), this
warpping can reduce the large number of changes later in the file;
2. bcli_args() warpping on bcli_args_direct() is used like original.

To fix this, we actually make 'ld->timers' a pointer, so we can clean
it up last of all. We can't free it before ld, because that causes
timers to be destroyed.

We need to do it in various places, but we shouldn't do it lightly:
the primitives are there to help us get overflow handling correct.

Christian and I both unwittingly used it in form:
*tal_arr_expand(&x) = tal(x, ...)
Since '=' isn't a sequence point, the compiler can (and does!) cache
the value of x, handing it to tal *after* tal_arr_expand() moves it
due to tal_resize().
The new version is somewhat less convenient to use, but doesn't have
this problem, since the assignment is always evaluated after the
resize.

When developing in regtest or testnet it is really inconvenient to
have to fake traffic and generate blocks just to get estimatesmartfee
to return a valid estimate. This just sets the minfee if bitcoind
doesn't return a valid estimate.

We do this a lot, and had boutique helpers in various places. So add
a more generic one; for convenience it returns a pointer to the new
end element.
I prefer the name tal_arr_expand to tal_arr_append, since it's up to
the caller to populate the new array entry.

With the previous patch, we could still get stuck behind a low-prio
request. Generalize it into separate queues, and allow more than one
request in parallel.
Worth noting that the test time for `VALGRIND=0 pytest -vx tests/ -n 10`
doesn't change measurably.

fiatjaf has a cheap VPS, connecting remotely to his home bitcoind node.
fiatjaf's latency on bitcoin-cli getblock is between 10 and 37 seconds.
fiatjaf's c-lightning node is getting one block per hour.
fiatjaf is sad.
We single-file our bitcoind requests, because bitcoind has a limited
thread pool and it *fails* rather than queueing if you upset it. We
probably be fine using separate queues for each command type, but simply
allowing some requests to cut in line should prove my theory that we're
getting stuck behind gossip verification requests.
fiatjaf now gets one block per 2 minutes.
fiatjaf is less sad.
