This renames all occurences of use_proxy_always to always_use_proxy
to keep it inline with config values. This was a bit confusing.
Only significant change is that the payload in the plugins init
requests also contained the old name. No plugin currently seems to make
use of this variable yet. The old name 'use_proxy_always' is added when
deprecated APIs is enabled.
Changelog-Deprecated: Plugins: Renames plugin init 'use_proxy_always' to 'always_use_proxy'
This adds a `u32 checksum` field to the plugin struct that is used
to identify if a plugin is outdated and needs to be restarted on `rescan`.
Note: Only affects non-important plugins.
Changelog-Added: Plugin: Restart plugin on `rescan` when binary was changed.
Makes it possible to write a decent JSON schema, but means we need to carry
additional data, so we create a `struct plugin_command`.
We remove the unused struct dynamic_plugin, too.

1. We don't need to check for NULL before tal_count(NULL).
2. Use of json_for_each_arr iterator is probably better.
3. Weird indent fixed.

Since plugins will start sending them soon, and they are likely to get
it wrong sometimes, be a bit more lenient, warn them in the logs
instead and then make sure it doesn't accidentally work anyway.
A plugin might subscribe to a notification topic that is only
registered by another plugin later, so push the check to that
consistency check phase where we do hook ordering as well.
We will eventually start emitting and dispatching custom notifications
from plugins just like we dispatch internal notifications. In order to
get reasonable error messages we need to make sure that the topics
plugins are asking for were correctly registered. When doing this we
don't really care about whether the plugin that registered the
notification is still alive or not (it might have died, but
subscribers should stay up and running), so we keep a list of all
topics attached to the `struct plugins` which gathers global plugin
information.
This avoids spamming the logs. We also remove the duplicate debug
logs on self-disable (plugin_kill logs it for us).

We currently log every kill at INFO level, even if it's during shutdown.
Change those to debug, but lift those where we got a malformed response.

If a plugin died due to connection close, we'd always say
"Plugin exited before completing handshake.", which was often
wrong.

Changelog-Added: plugins: plugins can now disable themselves by returning `disable`, even if marked important.
"multi" means that specifying a parameter twice will append, not override.
Multi args are always given as a JSON array, even if only one.
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
Changelog-Added: Plugins: new "multi" field allows an option to be specified multiple times.
This was fixed in 0.8.2.

Changelog-Removed: plugins: options to init are no longer given as strings if they are bool or int types (deprecated in 0.8.2).
This effectively reverts ac93b780d5.
Christian points out that plugins need time before we deprecate
the old options (probably 6 months) as they need to work with
both old and new.
Changelog-Deprecated: **UNDO** plugins: hooks should now be specified using objects, not raw names.

We previously registered hooks up in who-replies-to-getmanifest-first
order, but then if any had dependencies it would scatter that order.
This allows users to manually set dependencies developers have
forgotten by specifying the plugins manually in their configuration or
cmdline. This was an excellent consideration by @mschmook.

Changelog-Deprecated: plugins: hooks should now be specified using objects, not raw names.
The next patch will use these to order the hooks.

Changelog-Added: plugins: hooks can now specify that they must be called 'before' or 'after' other plugins.
And make caller of json_stream_forward_change_id use it, since
we're going to reuse that.
Also call json_out_finished here, so next object doesn't have a ","
prepended.

Note that check-whitespace and check-bolt already do this, so we
can eliminate redundant lines in common/Makefile and bitcoin/Makefile.
We also include the plugin headers in ALL_C_HEADERS so they get
checked.

I got a corrupt file, which looked like multiple concurrent attempts
to build it. So instead, build it in one command, but also use
VERBOSE so we print correctly with V=1 (and --quiet).
Also move into plugins/ where it logically belongs.

We promised this in 0.8.1!

Changelog-Removed: Plugin: Relative plugin paths are not relative to startup (deprecated v0.7.2.1)
PR #3957 improved performance considerably, however we still look over the
entire message for the message separator. If instead we just look in the
incrementally read data, we remove the quadratic behavior for large messages.
This is safe since we then loop over the messages which would drain any
message separator from the buffer before we attempt the next read.

Changelog-Fixed: JSON-RPC: significant speedups for plugins which create large JSON replies (e.g. listpays on large nodes).
The jsmn parser is a beautiful piece of code. In particular, you can parse
part of a string, then continue where you left off.
We don't take advantage of this, however, meaning for large JSON objects
we parse them multiple times before finally having enough to complete.
Expose the parser state and tokens through the API, so the caller can pass
them in repeatedly. For the moment, every caller is allocates each time
(except the unit tests).
