This commit fixes the issue where a wrong context being inherited to
create a timeout context. When a parent context timed out, all its
children contexts also timed out, even the children contexts had a
larger timeout value. This means it only makes sense to inherite from a
parent when its children have smaller timeout value. Given the setup of
the itest, all the timeout contexts need to be created from a context
background(hence no timeout on the parent) unless there's an explicit
timeout bound we want to set.
This commit refactored the function NewNode to take a *testing.T so that
the unexpected error is checked inside it. The caller is now free from
checking the errors.
We fix all linter issues except for the 'lostcontext' and 'unparam' ones
as those are too numerous and would increase the diff even more.
Therefore we silence them in the itest directory for now.
Because the linter is still not build tag aware, we also have to silence
the unused and deadcode sub linters to not get false positives.
In this commit, we modify our build tag set up to allow the main test
files to be buildable w/o the current rpctest tag. We do this so that
those of us that use extensions which will compile live files like
vim-go can once again fix compile errors as we go in our editors.
In order to do this, we now make an external `testsCases` variable, and
have two variants: one that's empty (no build tag), and one that's fully
populated with all our tests (build tag active). As a result, the main
file will now always build regardless of if the build tag is active or
not, but we'll only actually execute tests if the `testCases` variable
has been populated.
As sample run w/ the tag off:
```
=== RUN TestLightningNetworkDaemon
--- PASS: TestLightningNetworkDaemon (0.00s)
PASS
ok github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/lntest/itest 0.051s
