This is a preparatory step for the automatic documentation generation
that is going to use `sphinx-doc`. Each document should include a top
level header that matches the name and scope of the document and all
following headers should be of a lower level than the top-level
header.

Up until now, riskfactor was useless due to implementation bugs, and
also the default setting is wrong (too low to have an effect on
reasonable payment scenarios).
Let's simplify the definition (by assuming that P(failure) of a node
is 1), to make it a simple percentage. I examined the current network
fees to see what would work, and under this definition, a default of
10 seems reasonable (equivalent to 1000 under the old definition).
It is *this* change which finally fixes our test case! The riskfactor
is now 40msat (1500000 * 14 * 10 / 5259600 = 39.9), comparable with
worst-case fuzz is 50msat (1001 * 0.05 = 50).

- 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.
My manpage viewer did not know what to do with curly braces,
so I switched them to quotes and it works fine.

seed isn't very useful at this level: I've left it in routing.c
because it might be useful for detailed testing. Pretty sure it's unused,
so I simply removed it.
The fuzzpercent is documented to default at 5%, but actually was 75%.
Fix that too.

Right now, the `config` file is read *after* the configuration working directory is moved to in the software. However one configuration option `lightning-dir` settable in the `config` file sets this working directory. As the directory is already opened (which defaults to `$HOME/.lightning`) before the configuration is read, the configured directory will not be used.
This patch parses the configuration file before opening the working directory, fixing this bug.

And, reluctantly, default to bitcoind style.

Also:
- the lines of code that contain more than one elements are no more inline.
This should improve visualization in small screens (no auto line wrapping).
- Found a "solution" for the references: people looking at markdown presentation
will see one only reference to the Tor project.
In the text source all the "references" are shown and also serve in markdown as
hypertext links.
Feel free to improve.
- difference between --bind-addr=autotor and --addr=autotor
- typos corrected (non-persistent and Tor)
- "references" dropped
- table improved
- Outgoing case explained where is useful
The actual structure suffers of many repetitions. I could work on
a compact structure based on a "decision tree modular" approach if that
may seem useful.
Adapted for the markdown format.
Also developed in the preparation parts and each case of use has been detailed.
A doubt in the non persistent address remain:
In the original document
> --announce-addr=autotor:<torservice_ip:port> : try to generate an temp V2 onion addr.
this doesn't seem to work for me (several errors are produced at start up).
instead the `--addr=autotor:127.0.0.1:9051`seems to work well (at least for version 0.6).
The easiest way to do this is to play with the 'wallet_tx' semantics
and have 'amount' have meaning even when 'all_funds' is set.
Note that we change the string 'Cannot afford funding transaction' to
'Cannot afford transaction' as this code is also used for withdrawls.

Several users have noticed that they cannot pay satoshis.place or similar places
that have tiny payment amounts if they are not directly connected. This is due
to the forwarding fee dominating the transferred amount.
This commit adds a new option, exempting tiny fees (up to 5 satoshis by default)
from having to pass the maxfeepercent flag. While we could have told users to
tweak maxfeepercent I think it is usefull to have a default exemption.

The manpage did not specify the name of the named parameter (addresstype).
It does now.

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!

New codes: FUND_MAX_EXCEEDED, FUND_CANNOT_AFFORD, FUND_DUST_LIMIT_UNMET.
The error message "Cannot afford fee" was not exactly correct because
it would also occur if the amount requested could not be afforded. So
I changed it to the more generic "Cannot afford transaction".
Other things:
* Fixed off-by-one satoshi in fundchannel manpage.
* Changed 'arror' to 'error' because we are not pirates.
Proposed fix for issue #1231 - FreeBSD (tcsh) build problem due
to HOST environment variable.
The variable is used for cross-compilation. The process may be
improved even further in the future. So far this hot fix.
