The `ChannelKeys` object really isn't about keys at all anymore,
its all about signing. At the same time, we rename the type aliases
used in traits from both `ChanKeySigner` and `Keys` to just
`Signer` (or, in contexts where Channel isnt clear, `ChanSigner`).
Other includes calling timer_chan_freshness_every_minute() and in the
future, possibly persisting channel graph data.
This struct is suitable for things that need to happen periodically and
can happen in the background.
ChannelManager::force_close_channel does not fail if a non-existing channel id is being passed, making it hard to catch from an API point of view.
Makes force_close_channel return in the same way close_channel does so the user calling the method with an unknown id can be warned.
This drops any direct calls to a generic `ChannelKeys::read()` and
replaces it with the new `KeysInterface::read_chan_signer()`. Still,
under the hood all of our own `KeysInterface::read_chan_signer()`
implementations simply call out to a `Readable::read()` implemention.
There's no reason to have ChannelMonitor::write_for_disk instead of
just using the Writeable trait anymore. Previously, it was used to
differentiate with `write_for_watchtower`, but support for
watchtower-mode ChannelMonitors was never completed and the partial
bits were removed long ago.
This has the nice benefit of hitting the custom Writeable codepaths
in C bindings instead of trying to hit trait-generics paths.
It doesn't make sense to ever build a lightning node which doesn't
ever write ChannelMonitors to disk, so having a ChannelKeys object
which doesn't implement Writeable is nonsense.
Here we require Writeable for all ChannelKeys objects, simplifying
code generation for C bindings somewhat.
Intended to be a cross-platform implementation of the
channelmonitor::Persist trait.
This adds a new lightning-persister crate, that uses the
newly exposed lightning crate's test utilities.
Notably, this crate is pretty small right now. However, due to
future plans to add more data persistence (e.g. persisting the
ChannelManager, etc) and a desire to avoid pulling in filesystem
usage into the core lightning package, it is best for it to be
separated out.
Note: Windows necessitates the use of OpenOptions with the `write`
permission enabled to `sync_all` on a newly opened channel's
data file.
