cf12130627 params: shortened names
This is a cosmetic change only. No functional changes.

I shortened the names of macros and changed param_parse() to param().

Also went through params.h with a fine-toothed comb and updated the comments
to reflect the current API.

I wanted to change the files:

	params.c -> param.c
	params.h -> param.h
	run-params.c -> run->param.c

but that confused `git diff` for params.h so its best left for another PR.

I'm keeping #1682 updated locally with all these changes.

cf86c74870 params: add helper to provide default initialization.
@wythe points out that many cases want a default value, not NULL.
Nicer to do it in the param_parse() call.

1b50ea2abd params: removed tal context.
@rustyrussell showed we don't need temporary objects for params.

This means params no longer need a tal context.

6ff901d7b0 params: simplify lifetimes of params.
@wythe points out we don't need to keep the around now param_is_set()
is removed.  We can in fact go further and avoid marshalling them into
temporary objects at the caller altogether.

This means internally we have an array of struct param, rather than an
array of 'struct param *', which causes most of the noise in this
patch.

3f6f9e6fe0 param: make sure the name is a string literal.
We're using a macro anyway, so appending "" make it a compile-time check.

Complicates testing a bit, since we actually use generated names there.

899ff02e36 params: use asort.
It's a little neater than qsort here.

9f83a9ae4d params: make optional args do allocation for you.
This is a bit more natural, IMHO.  The only issue is that json_tok_tok is
special, so we end up with param_opt_tok() if you really want an optional
generic token.

4d1d0438e1 Typesafe callback system for parsing json
This is part of #1464 and incorporates Rusty's suggested updates from #1569.

See comment in param.h for description, here's the basics:

	unsigned cltv;
	const jsmntok_t *note;
	u64 msatoshi;
	struct param * mp;

	if (!param_parse(cmd, buffer, tokens,
			 param_req("cltv", json_tok_number, &cltv),
			 param_opt("note", json_tok_tok, &note),
			 mp = param_opt("msatoshi", json_tok_u64, &msatoshi),
			 NULL))
		return;

	if (param_is_set(mp))
		do_something()

There is a lot of developer mode code to make sure we don't make mistakes,
like trying to unmarshal into the same variable twice or adding a required param
after optional.

During testing, I found a bug (of sorts) in the current system.  It allows you
to provide two named parameters with the same name without error; e.g.:

	# cli/lightning-cli -k newaddr addresstype=p2sh-segwit addresstype=bech32
	{
		  "address": "2N3r6fT65PhfhE1mcMS6TtcdaEurud6M7pA"
	}

It just takes the first and ignores the second.  The new system reports this as an
error for now.  We can always change this later.
