After this code change people can use `plugin.rpc` from anywhere in
their plugin code this is much nicer than going this way:
```
@plugin.method("init")
def init(options, configuration, plugin):
global rpc
basedir = plugin.lightning_dir
rpc_filename = plugin.rpc_filename
path = os.path.join(basedir, rpc_filename)
rpc = LightningRpc(path)
```
or similarly that way:
```
@plugin.method("init")
def init(options, configuration, plugin):
global rpc
basedir = configuration['lightning-dir']
rpc_filename = configuration['rpc-file']
path = os.path.join(basedir, rpc_filename)
rpc = LightningRpc(path)
```
Also the imports have been sorted alphabetically

If the `request` or `plugin` parameter that are injected by the
framework where before or inbetween positional arguments we'd be
injecting them incorrectly, i.e., we'd be providing them both as
`args` (and mismapping another argument) as well as `kwargs`.
This is a better way to map arguments, which takes advantage of the
fact that JSON-RPC calls are either all positional or named arguments.
I also included a test for various scenarios, that hopefull cover the
most common cases.

The example code had the `plugin` argument as the last argument. this disallows arguments that have a standard value. As far as I understand the dispatching code the order of arguments does not matter since it is the name `plugin` that is relevant. Therefor I changed the order so that newbe's don't have to read the entire code and can easily add optional arguments
Just like we added the RPC methods, the notification handlers can also
be registered using a function decorator, and we auto-subscribe when
asked for a manifest.

This was causing `listchannels` to be incredibly slow. The response is
several megabyte in size, and we were only buffering 1Kb on each
iteration.

It's flask inspired with the Plugin instance and decorators to add
methods to the plugin description.

This tells the plugin both the `lightning-dir` as well as the
`rpc-filename` to use to talk to `lightningd`. Prior to this they'd
had to guess.

We inadvertently broke the compatibility between the python library
and the binary when switching to \n\n-delimiters. This reintroduces
the old inefficient parsing, and dynamically upgrades to the faster
version if it detects the \n\n-delimiter.

Both of these plugins will fail in interesting ways, and we should
still handle them correctly.

This doesn't make a performance difference, but even better, it
simplifies the code.
We hacked test_multirpc to send 200x as many commands, and timed the
pytest over 20 runs:
Before:
=================== 1 passed, 136 deselected in 8.550000-9.400000(9.0045+/-0.2) seconds ===================
After:
=================== 1 passed, 136 deselected in 8.540000-9.370000(8.97286+/-0.16) seconds ===================

We need to keep the remaining buffer, and we need to try to parse it
before we read the next. I first tried keeping it in the object, but
its lifetime is that of the *socket*, which we actually reopen for
every command.

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.

And there's a difference between no description and "" as a description:
for no description, listpayments doesn't show the field at all. So fix
that.

While not strictly necessary it's certainly a good idea to test
against the latest one and not encourage users to use old versions.

And, reluctantly, default to bitcoind style.

No semantical change but when using the python lib for the rpc-api it is confusing that my developing environment suggests that I should fund a channel and pass a channel_id when in fact I want to pass a node_id
This is useful mainly in the case where bitcoind is not giving estimates,
but can also be used to bias results if you want.
