Dumb programs which have a --daemon option call fork() early. This is
terrible UX since startup errors get lost: the program exits with
"success" immediately then you discover via the logs that it didn't
start at all.
However, forking late introduced a heap of problems with changing
pids. Instead, fork early but keep stderr and the parent around: if
we fail early on, the parent fails with us. We release our parent
with an explicit action just before the main loop.

Otherwise it creates the lightning-dir. This can't be helped for --help
(at least, if plugins are present), but --version simply prints and exits.

This is easy since we did the option parsing cleanup, but it has the
effect that plugins are launched from the lightning-dir. Now
we have dynamic plugins, this means startup and post-startup plugins
experience the same environment.
This is absolutely a desirable thing: they can just drop files in
their cwd rather than having to move (including, I might note, core
files!).
We also highlight the change in various places (and a drive-up update
of PLUGINS.md which says you have to use --plugin).
The next patch adds a backwards compatibility wedge for old users of
relative plugin paths.

No code changes, just move.
Put all the dev options into the one function, and register (and

I noticed that --network=regtest didn't override 'network=bitcoin' in
the config file.
Normally we parse the config file first, then the commandline (so the cmdline
wins). But for early options, we do cmdline first so we can find the config
file. That was fine when the only early option was the location of the
config file, but now it includes plugins and the network setting.
So do a boutique cmdline parse *just* to find the config file, then parse
the config file early options, then the cmdline early options.

updates the bolt version to 6639cef095a2ecc7b8f0c48c6e7f2f906fbfbc58.
this requires us to use the new bolt parser at generate-bolt.py
and updates to all of the type specifications (ie. from u8 -> byte)
"result" should always be an object (so that we can add new fields),
so make that implicit in json_stream_success.
This makes our primitives well-formed: we previously used NULL as our
fieldname when calling the first json_object_start, which is a hack
since we're actually in an object and the fieldname is 'result' (which
was already written by json_object_start).
There were only two cases which didn't do this:
1. dev-memdump returned an array. No API guarantees on this.
2. shutdown returned a string.
I temporarily made shutdown return an empty object, which shouldn't
break anything, but I want to fix that later anyway.

These are generalized from our internal implementations.
The main difference is that 'struct json_escaped' is now 'struct
json_escape', so we replace that immediately.
The difference between lightningd's json-writing ringbuffer and the
more generic ccan/json_out is that the latter has a better API and
handles escaping transparently if something slips through (though
it does offer direct accessors so you can mess things up yourself!).

A new string field is added to the command structure and is specified at the creation of each native command, and in the JSON created by 'json_add_help_command()'.
We now have a test blockchain for MCP which has the correct channels,
so this is not needed.
Also fix a benchmark script bug where 'mv "$DIR"/log
"$DIR"/log.old.$$' would fail if you log didn't exist from a previous run.

The old value of 1000 sat was too small to cover the dust reserves.
This lead to the situation when trying to open a channel with minimal
amount, the channels got refused because they were not able cover the
commitment fees.
For this reason the minimal capacity should be increased to i.e. 10k
satoshi, as the technical minimum that also accounts for fees and
reserves is somewhere around 6k sat.
I tried to just do gossipd, but it was uncontainable, so this ended up being
a complete sweep.
We didn't get much space saving in gossipd, even though we should save
24 bytes per node.

This patch will properly set fee_per_satoshi to _unsigned_ integer,
as support for negative fees was removed from overall design.
This change does not break any tests, so I assume its
better this way.
Christian and I both unwittingly used it in form:
*tal_arr_expand(&x) = tal(x, ...)
Since '=' isn't a sequence point, the compiler can (and does!) cache
the value of x, handing it to tal *after* tal_arr_expand() moves it
due to tal_resize().
The new version is somewhat less convenient to use, but doesn't have
this problem, since the assignment is always evaluated after the
resize.

Usually, this means they return 'command_param_failed()' if param()
fails, and changing 'command_success(); return;' to 'return
command_success()'.
Occasionally, it's more complex: there's a command_its_complicated()
for the case where we can't exactly determine what the status is,
but it should be considered a last resort.

Handers of a specific form are both designed to be used as callbacks
for param(), and also dispose of the command if something goes wrong.
Make them return the 'struct command_result *' from command_failed(),
or NULL.
Renaming them just makes sense: json_tok_XXX is used for non-command-freeing
parsers too.
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
These are only supposed to be used when you want the token contents including
surrounding "". We should use this when reporting errors, but usually
we just want to access the tok members directly.

json_escaped.[ch], param.[ch] and jsonrpc_errors.h move from lightningd/
to common/. Tests moved too.
We add a new 'common/json_tok.[ch]' for the common parameter parsing
routines which a plugin might want, taking them out of
lightningd/json.c (which now only contains the lightningd-specific
ones).
The rest is mainly fixing up includes.

This (will) avoid the plugin having to walk back from the params object
as it currently does.
No code changes; I removed UNUSED and UNNEEDED labels from the other
parameters though (as *every* json_rpc callback needs to call param()
these days, they're *always* used).

We also make `--help` a non-early arg so it allows for the plugins to
register their options before printing the help message. The options
themselves are stored in a separate struct inbetween them being
registered and them being forwarded to the plugin. Currently only
supports string options.
Signed-off-by: Christian Decker <@cdecker>
The idea is that `plugin` is an early arg that is parsed (from command
line or the config file). We can then start the plugins and have them
tell us about the options they'd like to add to the mix, before we
actually parse them.
Signed-off-by: Christian Decker <@cdecker>
Such an API is required for when we stream it directly. Almost all our
handlers fit this pattern already, or nearly do.
We remove new_json_result() in favor of explicit json_stream_success()
and json_stream_fail(), but still allowing command_fail() if you just
want a simple all-in-one fail wrapper.
