Since we want to keep track of the Init-context features for every
peer we have channels with, we have to keep them for as long as the
peer is connected (since we may open a channel with them at any
point).
We go ahead and take this opportunity to create a new per-peer-state
struct which has two levels of mutexes which is appropriate for
moving channel storage to.
Since we can't process messages from a given peer in parallel, the
inner lock is a regular mutex, but the outer lock is RW so that we
can process for different peers at the same time with an outer read
lock.
Accessing a struct through an std::syn::MutexGuard using implicit
dereferencing can confuse the borrow checker. This situation arises when
obtaining mutable references to more than one field of the struct, which
is normally allowed.

However, when using implicit dereferencing, a mutable reference to the
the entire struct is taken. Thus, attempting to access another field in
this manner will lead to a compilation error.
https://doc.rust-lang.org/error-index.html#E0499
A simple way to avoid this is to first obtain a mutable reference to the
struct using explicit dereferencing.
This merges local and global features into one struct, which is
parameterized by where it appers. The parameterization restricts
which queries can be made and which features can be set, in line
with the latest BOLT 9.
Closes#427.
Simplify interfaces between ChannelMessageHandler and PeerManager,
by switching all ChannelMessageHandler errors to HandleError sent
internally instead of being return. With further refactors in Router
and PeerChannelEncryptor, errors management on the PeerManager-side
won't be splitted between try_potential_handleerror and HandleError
processing.
Inside ChannelManager, we now log MsgHandleErrInternal and send
ErrorAction to PeerManager.
On a high-level, it should allow client using API to be more flexible
by polling events instead of waiting function call returns.
We also update handle_error macro to take channel_state_lock from
caller which should avoid some deadlock potential for some edges
cases.
Filter out IgnoreError in handle_error macro, update test in
consequence.
We now have current-local-tx broadcast ability in channel monitors
directly (for ChannelManager deserialization), so we can just use
that instead of always having the Channel store signed ready-to-go
copies of the latest local commitment transaction.
This is further kinda nice since ChannelMonitor is live and can, eg
broadcast HTLC-Success transactions immediately as they will be
generated at broadcast time instead of in advance.
Finally, this lets us clean up a tiny bit in Channel.
Instead of having in-memory access to the list of private keys
associated with a channel, we should have a generic API which
allows us to request signing, allowing the user to store private
keys any way they like.
The first step is the (rather mechanical) process of templating
the entire tree of ChannelManager -> Channel impls by the
key-providing type. In a later commit we should expose only public
keys where possible.
Latency/peer disconnection may trigger us to mark as disabled
some of our channels. After some time, if channels are still
disabled we need to broadcast ChannelUpdate to inform other network
peers about the uselessness of these channels.
Because filter_block takes a and returns a list of s , we must add a lifetime to the ChainWatchInterface, which bubbles up in a lot of places. These places include adding a lifetime to the Node struct, which causes a lot of rearranging tests so that variables don't go out of scope before the Node that owns them does.
Adding this struct will allow us to remove the circular reference
between ChainListeners and the ChainWatchInterface, because it
separates out the responsibility of notifying listeners about new
blocks from the responsibility of storing and retrieving watched
transactions.
This includes the purpose of this PR, which is to remove the circular reference created by ChainListeners self-adding themselves to their ChainWatchInterface's `listeners` field.
