With this commit we encode the custom records as a TLV stream into the
custom channel data field of the invoice HTLC.
This allows the custom data parser to parse those records and replace it
with human-readable JSON on the RPC interface.
AddInvoice,AddHoldInvoice now issue invoices that include our
peer's aliases. Some extra sanity checks are included to ensure we
don't leak our confirmed SCID for a private channel.
With go 1.17 a change to the build flags was implemented:
https://go.googlesource.com/proposal/+/master/design/draft-gobuild.md
The formatter now automatically adds the forward-compatible build tag
format and the linter checks for them, so we need to include them in our
code.
As a preparation to not have a local and remote version of the database
around anymore, we rename the variables into what their actual function
is. In case of the RPC server we even directly use the channel graph
instead of the DB instance. This should allow us to extract the channel
graph into its own, separate database (perhaps with better access
characteristics) in the future.
In this commit, we remove the restriction surrounding the largest
invoices that we'll allow a user to create. After #3967 has landed,
users will be able to send in _aggregate_ a payment larger than the
current max HTLC size limit in the network. As a result, we can just
treat that value as the system's MTU, and allow users to request
payments it multiples of that MTU value.
A follow up to this PR at a later time will also allow wumbo _channels_.
However, that requires us to tweak the way we scale CSV values, as post
wumbo, there is no true channel size limit, only the
_local_ limit of a given node. We also need to implement a way for nodes
to signal to other nodes their accepted max channel size.
