In this commit, we eliminate some code duplication by removing the old
`HashMutex` struct as it just duplicates all the code with a different
type (uint64 and hash). We then make the main Mutex struct take a type
param, so the key can be parametrized when the struct is instantiated.
In this commit, we modify the way we write wire messages across the
entire database. We'll now ensure that we always write wire messages
with a length prefix. We update the `codec.go` file to always write a 2
byte length prefix, this affects the way we write the `CommitDiff` and
`LogUpdates` struct to disk, and the network results bucket in the
switch as it includes a wire message.
Similarly as with kvdb.View this commits adds a reset closure to the
kvdb.Update call in order to be able to reset external state if the
underlying db backend needs to retry the transaction.
This commit adds a reset() closure to the kvdb.View function which will
be called before each retry (including the first) of the view
transaction. The reset() closure can be used to reset external state
(eg slices or maps) where the view closure puts intermediate results.
paymentResultStore is a persistent store where we keep track of all
received payment results. This is used to ensure we don't lose results
from payment attempts on restarts.
This lets us distinguish an critical error from a actual payment result
(success or failure). This is important since we know that we can only
attempt another payment when a final result from the previous payment
attempt is received.
