The purpose of this commit is to begin the process of packing
symmetric fields into the newly introduced Dual structure. The
reason for this is that the Dual structure has a handy indexing
method where we can supply a ChannelParty and get back a value.
This will cut down on the amount of branching code in the main
lines of the codebase logic, making it easier to follow what is
going on.
The lnwallet package implements an abstracted wallet controller that is able to
drive channel funding workflows, a number of script utilities, witness
generation functions for the various Lightning scripts, revocation key
derivation, and the commitment update state machine.
The package is used within lnd as the core wallet of the daemon. The wallet
itself is composed of several distinct interfaces that decouple the
implementation of things like signing and blockchain access. This separation
allows new WalletController implementations to be easily dropped into
lnd without disrupting the code base. A series of integration tests at the
interface level are also in place to ensure conformance of the implementation
with the interface.
