araspitzu a4b94004e4 API: use form data instead of JSON-RPC (#894)
Port the existing API functionalities over a new structure of HTTP endpoints, with the biggest difference being the usage of **named parameters** for the requests (responses are unchanged). RPC methods have become endpoints and the parameters for each are now passed via form-params (clients must use the header "Content-Type" : "multipart/form-data"), this allows for a clearer interpretation of the parameters and results in more elegant parsing code on the server side. It is possible to still use the old API version via a configuration key.

Old API can be used by setting `eclair.api.use-old-api=true`.

method | params | description
------------- |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------
getinfo | | return basic node information (id, chain hash, current block height)
connect | nodeId, host, port | open a secure connection to a lightning node
connect | uri | open a secure connection to a lightning node
open | nodeId, fundingSatoshis, pushMsat = 0, feerateSatPerByte = ?, channelFlags = 0x01 | open a channel with another lightning node, by default push = 0, feerate for the funding tx targets 6 blocks, and channel is announced
updaterelayfee | channelId, feeBaseMsat, feeProportionalMillionths | update relay fee for payments going through this channel
peers | | list existing local peers
channels | | list existing local channels
channels | nodeId | list existing local channels opened with a particular nodeId
channel | channelId | retrieve detailed information about a given channel
channelstats | | retrieves statistics about channel usage (fees, number and average amount of payments)
allnodes | | list all known nodes
allchannels | | list all known channels
allupdates | | list all channels updates
allupdates | nodeId | list all channels updates for this nodeId
receive | description | generate a payment request without a required amount (can be useful for donations)
receive | amountMsat, description | generate a payment request for a given amount
receive | amountMsat, description, expirySeconds | generate a payment request for a given amount that expires after given number of seconds
parseinvoice | paymentRequest | returns node, amount and payment hash in a payment request
findroute | paymentRequest | returns nodes and channels of the route for this payment request if there is any
findroute | paymentRequest, amountMsat | returns nodes and channels of the route for this payment request and amount, if there is any
findroute | nodeId, amountMsat | returns nodes and channels of the route to the nodeId, if there is any
send | amountMsat, paymentHash, nodeId | send a payment to a lightning node
send | paymentRequest | send a payment to a lightning node using a BOLT11 payment request
send | paymentRequest, amountMsat | send a payment to a lightning node using a BOLT11 payment request and a custom amount
checkpayment | paymentHash | returns true if the payment has been received, false otherwise
checkpayment | paymentRequest | returns true if the payment has been received, false otherwise
close | channelId | close a channel
close | channelId, scriptPubKey | close a channel and send the funds to the given scriptPubKey
forceclose | channelId | force-close a channel by publishing the local commitment tx (careful: this is more expensive than a regular close and will incur a delay before funds are spendable)"
audit | | list all send/received/relayed payments
audit | from, to | list send/received/relayed payments in that interval (from <= timestamp < to)
networkfees | | list all network fees paid to the miners, by transaction
networkfees |from, to | list network fees paid to the miners, by transaction, in that interval (from <= timestamp < to)
help | | display available methods
