The bindings generation really should support generic bounds other
than Deref::Target in where clauses, but currently does not. To
avoid needing to add support during the current release process,
we simply swap around the arguments to move them to the first <>
instead of the where.

in an invoice creation utility. Note that if the error type of `create_inbound_payment` ever
changed, we'd be forced to update the invoice utility's callsite to handle the new error
and replace payment_secret with encrypted metadata
See docs on `inbound_payment::verify` for details
Also add min_value checks to all create_inbound_payment* methods
Because we time out channel info that is older than two weeks now,
we should also reject new channel info that is older than two
weeks, in addition to rejecting future channel info.
We define "stale" as "haven't heard an updated channel_update in
two weeks", as described in BOLT 7.
We also filter out stale channels at write-time for `std` users, as
we can look up the current time.
This finally fixes the bug described in the previous commits where
we retry a payment after its retry count has expired due to early
removal of the payment from the retry count tracking map. A test is
also added which demonstrates the bug in previous versions and
which passes now.
Fixes#1164.
When a payment fails, a payer needs to know when they can consider
a payment as fully-failed, and when only some of the HTLCs in the
payment have failed. This isn't possible with the current event
scheme, as discovered recently and as described in the previous
commit.
This adds a new event which describes when a payment is fully and
irrevocably failed, generating it only after the payment has
expired or been marked as expired with
`ChannelManager::mark_retries_exceeded` *and* all HTLCs for it
have failed. With this, a payer can more simply deduce when a
payment has failed and use that to remove payment state or
finalize a payment failure.
When a payer gives up trying to retry a payment, they don't know
for sure what the current state of the event queue is.
Specifically, they cannot be sure that there are not multiple
additional `PaymentPathFailed` or even `PaymentSuccess` events
pending which they will see later. Thus, they have a very hard
time identifying whether a payment has truly failed (and informing
the UI of that fact) or if it is still pending. See [1] for more
information.
In order to avoid this mess, we will resolve it here by having the
payer give `ChannelManager` a bit more information - when they
have given up on a payment - and using that to generate a
`PaymentFailed` event when all paths have failed.
This commit adds the neccessary storage and changes for the new
state inside `ChannelManager` and a public method to mark a payment
as failed, the next few commits will add the new `Event` and use
the new features in our `PaymentRetrier`.
