ReadOnlyNetworkGraph uses BTreeMap to store its nodes and channels, but
these data structures are not supported by C bindings. Expose look-up
functions on these maps in lieu of such support.
Currently we only opt to split a payment into an MPP if we have
completely and totally used a channel's available capacity (up to
the announced htlc_max or on-chain capacity, whichever is lower).
This is obviously destined to fail as channels are unlikely to have
their full capacity available.
Here we do the minimum viable fix by simply limiting channels to
only using up to a configurable power-of-1/2. We default this new
configuration knob to 1 (1/2 of the channel) so as to avoid a
substantial change but in the future we may consider changing this
to 2 (1/4) or even 3 (1/8).
Currently, channel balances may be rather easily discovered through
probing. This however poses a privacy risk, since the analysis of
balance changes over adjacent channels could in the worst case empower an adversary to
mount an end-to-end deanonymization attack, i.e., track who payed whom.
The penalty added here is applied so we prefer nodes with a smaller `htlc_maximum_msat`, which makes
balance discovery attacks harder to execute. As this improves privacy network-wide, we
treat such nodes preferentially and hence create an incentive to restrict
`htlc_maximum_msat`.
Provide a wrapper struct for 32-byte node aliases, which implements
Display for printing. Support the UTF-8 character encoding, but replace
control characters and terminate at the first null character. Fall back
to ASCII if the byte sequence is an invalid encoding.
Instead of implementing EventHandler for P2PGossipSync, implement it on
NetworkGraph. This allows RapidGossipSync to handle events, too, by
delegating to its NetworkGraph.
P2PGossipSync logs before delegating to NetworkGraph in its
EventHandler. In order to share this handling with RapidGossipSync,
NetworkGraph needs to take a logger so that it can implement
EventHandler instead.
P2PGossipSync has a Secp256k1 context field, which it only uses to pass
to NetworkGraph methods. Move the field to NetworkGraph so other callers
don't need to pass in a Secp256k1 context.
