If the context is freed, the callback isn't called. This doesn't matter
yet, since our callbacks tend to be such that the callback itself is
required to free things, but it's clearer this way and allows more
flexible usage in following patches.

`struct log` becomes `struct logger`, and the member which points to the
`struct log_book` becomes `->log_book` not `->lr`.
Also, we don't need to keep the log_book in struct plugin, since it has
access to ld's log_book.

When core lightning is asking the information about
the blockchain with `getchaininfo` command lightningd
know already the information about the min and max block height.
the problem is when we have a smarter Bitcoin backend that is able
to switch between different clients in some cases is helpful
give the information about current known height by lightningd and
pass it down to the plugin.
In this way, the plugin knows what is the correct known height from lightnind, and can
try to fix some problems if any exit.
This is particularly useful when you are syncing a new backend from scratch
like https://github.com/cloudhead/nakamoto and we avoid returning the
lower height from the known, and avoid the crash of core lightning.
With this information, the plugin can start to sync the chain and return
the answer back only when the chain is in sync with the current status of
lightningd.
Another reason to add this field and not wait the correct block in core
lightning itself is because Bitcoin Core is extremely slow to sync up,
so the question here is, how long should we wait? The time depends
on various factors.
With this approach of informing the plugin about the height, in some cases,
you can start the syncing but move the execution to another backend until
the previous one is ready.
The problem I want to solve is that I don't want to be left in the dark when
we run `getchaininfo`, and I want to have the opportunity to wait for
the blockchain sync or decide to dispatch the request elsewhere.
Changelog-Added: Pass the current known block height down to the getchaininfo call.

Rather than have specific-purpose levels, have an array of
[blockcount, feerate], and rebuild the specific-purpose levels
for now on top.
We also keep a *separate* smoothed feerate, so you can ask for that
explicitly.
Since all the plugins used the same formula to derive the different
named fee levels, we apply the reverse to return to the underlying
estimates: updating the interface comes next.
This is ugly for now, but various specific-purpose levels will be
going away, as we shift to deadline-driven fees.
This temporarily breaks the floor calculation, so that test is
disabled.

First, merge the _ahf_ and non-ahf interfaces.
Second, remove the always-NULL txs->cmd field.
Then, add optional id_prefix for bitcoind_sendrawx, so if it's
triggered by a command (e.g. "withdraw") it's shown correctly in logs.

Not necessary yet, but it will be once shutdown starts waiting for
plugins to respond: we don't want these to try to access the bcli
plugin once it's freed.

Changelog-Deprecated: plugin: `bcli` replacements should note that `sendrawtransaction` now has a second required Boolean argument, `allowhighfees`, which if `true`, means ignore any fee limits and just broadcast the transaction. Use `--deprecated-apis` to use older `bcli` replacement plugins that only support a single argument.
This adapts our fee estimations requests to the Bitcoin backend to the
new semantic, and batch the requests.
This makes our request for fees much simpler, and leaves some more
flexibility for a plugin to do something smart (it could still lie before
but now it's explicit, at least.) as we don't explicitly request
estimation for a specific mode and a target.
Changelog-Changed: We now batch the requests for fee estimation to our Bitcoin backend.
Changelog-Changed: We now get more fine-grained fee estimation from our Bitcoin backend.
This avoids the getblockhash+getblock, and more importantly that was the
last functionality making use of bitcoind_getrawblock() and bitcoin_getblockhash(),
so we can also get rid of them.
This adds `getchaininfo` and `getrawblockbyheight` handling lightningd-side,
and use them in setup_topology().
We then remove legacy bitcoind_getblockcount() (we already get the count in
`getchaininfo`), bitcoind_getblockchaininfo() (it was only used in setup_topology()),
and wait_for_bitcoind() (this was specific to bitcoin-core and we assume our Bitcoin
backend to be functional if the plugin responds to `init`).
Instead of allowing all calls to `getfilteredblock` to be scheduled on the
`bitcoind` queue right away we instead add them in a separate queue, and
process a single call at a time. This limits the concurrency and avoids
thrashing `bitcoind`. At the same time we dispatch incoming results back to
all calls that were queued for that particular blockheight, reducing the
overall number of calls and an increase in overall speed.

This will eventually replace the multi-step `getblockhash` + `getblock` +
`gettxout` mechanism, and return entire filtered blocks which can be added to
the DB, and represent the full set of P2WSH UTXOs.

With the previous patch, we could still get stuck behind a low-prio
request. Generalize it into separate queues, and allow more than one
request in parallel.
Worth noting that the test time for `VALGRIND=0 pytest -vx tests/ -n 10`
doesn't change measurably.

It's just a sha256_double, but importantly when we convert it to a

Depending on what we're doing, we can want different ones. So use

If one isn't available, we try making each one half the previous.

lightningd can crash on shutdown if it's in the middle of getchaintips;
we free the conn, the finished callback is called (process_chaintips),
and it reports that it received an empty result.
The simplest fix is to set a flag in the struct bitcoind destructor,
and avoid the callback.
