* Rename all the 'varint' to 'bigsize'.
Having both is confusing; we chose the name bigsize, so use it
explicitly.

`u8` isn't a type; see BOLT #1 "Fundamental Types".

The spec already prepared a hook to add additional information to existing
messages (additional bytes at the end of a message must be ignored).
Since we're using TLV in many places, it makes sense to use that optional
additional space at the end of each message to allow an optional tlv stream.
This requires making a few previously optional fields mandatory:
- channel_reestablish commitment points: it makes sense to always include those
regardless of whether `option_dataloss_protect` or `option_static_remotekey` are set.
- option_upfront_shutdown_script: if you're not using one, just set the length to 0.
That field is moved to a TLV record because luckily, the resulting bytes are the same.
This provides more flexibility to later remove the requirement of making this field mandatory.
No need to change the `channel_update`'s `htlc_maximum_msat` because
the `message_flags` encode its presence/absence.
It can still be either included or omitted without causing issues to the extension stream.

This commit:
- Adds a new Dependencies column to the BOLT 9 feature table
populated with existing feature dependencies.
- Requires that all valid feature vectors set transitive dependencies.
- Requires checking transitive dependencies when validating init
messages and payment request.
- Removes transitive feature requiremetns from the BOLT 11 writer, now
that they are implicit by needing to comply with the BOLT 9 origin
requirements.
We simply specify, in each case, where they will appear ("Context").
Because `globalfeatures` is already in use, we fold that into the
renamed `localfeatures` field to unify them (now called `features`),
but dissuade further use.
Note also: we REQUIRE minimal `features` field in
channel_announcement, since otherwise both sides of channel will not
agree and not be able to create their signatures!
Consider these theoretical future features:
`opt_dlog_chan`: a new channel type which uses a new discrete log HTLC
type, but can't support traditional HTLC:
* `init`: presents as odd (optional) or even (if traditional channels
not supported)
* `node_announcement`: the same as above, so you can seek suitable peers.
* `channel_announcement`: presents as even (compulsory), since users need
to use the new HTLCs.
`opt_wumbochan`: a node which allows channels > 2^24 satoshis:
* `init`: presents as odd (optional), or maybe even (if you only want
giant channels)
* `node_announcement`: the same as above, so you can seek suitable peers.
* `channel_announcement`: not present, since size of channel indicates
capacity.
`opt_wumbohtlc`: a channel which allows HTLCs > 2^32 millisatoshis:
* `init`: presents as odd (optional), or even (compulsory)
* `node_announcement`: the same as above, so you can seek suitable peers.
* `channel_announcement`: odd (optional) since you can use the channel
without understanding what this option means.

These are based on @t-bast's vectors from #607, with a few more
cases:
1. Explicitly test encodings for 253, 254 and 255.
2. Use BigSize and make sure tests break badly if endian parsing is wrong.'
3. Test wrap-around of type encodings in stream.
Many thanks to @t-bast and @cfromknecht for their contributions and testing

We didn't explicitly say that the TLV is bad if length exceeds
the message length!
We didn't specify whether to ignore extra bytes: we should.
Similarly, contents of values must be minimal (i.e. tu64 etc).

This commit modifies the varint encoding used for TLV types and lengths
to use a custom format called BigSize. The format is identical to
bitcoin's CompactSize, except it replaces the use of little-endian
encodings for multi-byte values with big-endian. This is done to prevent
mixing endianness within the protocol, since otherwise CompactSize would
be the first introduction of little-endian encodings.
It's trivial to make types->lengths, but not so much the other way.
The types I used here are the ones I found useful in implementation, and
I think add some clarity, though we can certainly argue about them.
There's no normative changes to the spec in here.

Obviously you can't include fields you don't understand, but importantly
if the other side doesn't agree, you don't need to include them.

I named the first option `option209` but that was too ugly to live.
Nonetheless, this wording lived on.

update stylesheet to reflect appropriate structure of Requirement sub-items and format of digits, numerations, and quantities;
copy edit BOLTs 0,1,2 to adhere to these changes;
We've always specified that fields can be appended, and we're about to
do our first. Make it clear that you can't just send one if we add several
fields as part of the same option.
Change extract-formats to have an optional new field appended: the
input format is to simply add ' (optionname)' in the data
specification.
