We need a new feature bit for BOLT11 invoices in order to indicate that
they contain the new blinded path tagged field. Tagged fields pre-date
TLV and so nodes who dont understand them will simply skip them.
Therefore the feature bit helps them to fail fast.
In this commit, we carry out a new notion introduced during a recent
spec meeting to use a feature bit plus 100 before the feature has been
finalized in the spec.
We split into the Final and Staging bits.
Base 32 encoded bolt 11 invoices only allow 10 bits to express the
length of the feature vector in a tagged field, so there is a much
lower limit on the values invoice custom features can hold.
Other places in the protocol are theoretically limited by the maximum
message size, but since we express a feature bit as u16 we don't need
to be concerned about this.
The decision is made to track maximum per-set in the feature manager,
which is conceptually aware of sets and then validate in lnwire/features
against some arbitrary maximum value provided to the caller to keep
the base features package unaware of sets.
Disallow update of any features that are defined by LND (since
just updating the feature, but not the functionality will result in
strange behavior). All known feature bits should be toggled using
protocol config options.
This defines the zero-conf feature bit, the scid-alias feature bit,
the zero-conf channel type, and the scid-alias channel type. It also
defines the dependency "tree" that exists for the feature bits.
The scid-alias feature bit signals that the node requires an alias
short channel id to be sent in funding_locked. The scid-alias channel
type requires that the channel is private, in addition to some other
forwarding-related privacy measures.
This fixes an issue where if one tries to unset a feature like anchors,
and other feature depend on it, then `lnd` fails to start as it realizes
that its dependnacy set is inconsistent.

This commit introduces a feature.Manager, which derives feature vectors
for various contexts within the daemon. The sets can be described via a
staticly compiled format, which makes any runtime adjustments to the
feature sets when the manager is initialized.
