Currently if an incorrect number of timestamps is given, we fail later
on in the GossipSyncer. It makes more sense to fail right away, since we
already do that for incorrect SCID formats (e.g., unsorted or duplicate
SCIDs). There is already a matching check in Encode for incorrect number
of timestamps, so adding this check to Decode makes things symmetric.
This commit refactors the remaining usage of WriteElements. By
replacing the interface types with concrete types for the params used in
the methods, most of the encoding of the messages now takes zero heap
allocations.
This commit changes the WriteElement and WriteElements methods to take a
write buffer instead of io.Writer. The corresponding Encode methods are
changed to use the write buffer.
Removes the MaxPayloadLength function from the Message interface
and checks that each message payload is not greater than MaxMsgBody.
Since all messages are now allowed to be 65535 bytes in size, the
MaxPayloadLength is no longer needed.

lnwire: update quickcheck tests, use constant for Error
multi: update unit tests to pass deep equal assertions with messages
In this commit, we update a series of unit tests in the code base to now
pass due to the new wire message encode/decode logic. In many instances,
we'll now manually set the extra bytes to an empty byte slice to avoid
comparisons that fail due to one message having an empty byte slice and
the other having a nil pointer.
In order to prep for allowing TLV extensions for the `ReplyChannelRange`
and `QueryChannelRange` messages, we'll need to remove the struct
embedding as is. If we don't remove this, then we'll attempt to decode
TLV extensions from both the embedded and outer struct.
All relevant call sites have been updated to reflect this minor change.
In this commit, we export the ReadElements and WriteElements functions.
We do this as exporting these functions makes it possible for outside
packages to define serializations which use the BOLT 1.0 wire format.
