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.

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!).

Node ids are pubkeys, but we only use them as pubkeys for routing and checking
gossip messages. So we're packing and unpacking them constantly, and wasting
some space and time.
This introduces a new type, explicitly the SEC1 compressed encoding
(33 bytes). We ensure its validity when we load from the db, or get it
from JSON. We still use 'struct pubkey' for peer messages, which checks
validity.

I was tempted to create a new db_select_stmt wrapper type, but that means
a lot of boilerplate around binding, which expects to work with db_prepare
*and* db_select_prepare.
This lets us clearly differentiate between db queries (which don't need to
go to a plugin) and db changes (which do).

Allow a function as well as (or instead of!) an sql statement. That
will let us do things like set per-channel values to the global
defaults, for example.
Since we remove the NULL termination, the final entry is ARRAY_SIZE()-1
not ARRAY_SIZE()-2.

I upgraded my node with --disable-compat, and a heap of channels closed like:
CHANNELD_NORMAL:We disagree on short_channel_ids: I have 557653x0x1351, you say 557653x2373x1",
This is because the scids are strings in the databases, and it failed to parse
them properly.
Now we'll not start if that happens.

I would have liked to make it a tal object, then we'd catch most
things with our memleak detection. However, sqlite3 doesn't seem to
allow allocator overrides.

We use it on the secrets array for the moment, but it's also useful
for remote_shutdown_scriptpubkey, as used in the next patch.

We save location where transaction was started, in case we try to nest.
There's now no error case; db_exec_mayfail() is the only one.
This means the tests need to override fatal() if they want to intercept
these errors.

Otherwise we find ourselves outside a commitment. This is a bandaid
until we remove nested commitments again at the end of this series.

Nesting is provided by only actually performing the outermost
transaction and simulating the nested ones. This still allows us to
ensure on lower levels that we are in the context of a transaction
without having to resort to keeping explicitly track of it in the
calling code.

In addition we also set some of the test values to a pattern instead
of just `memset`ting it to 0, which may hide some crossed lines.

We use these quite often and it is cumbersome having to do these
simple conversions inline, so just expose pseudo-sqlite3 methods to
bind and extract from/to a stmt.

Technically it's the caller that'll own the statement, but it is nice
to have db_exec_prepared dispose of it.

This makes executing a query/command a two step process, but allows us
to use the native binding and avoid having to build queries as SQL
strings. Two major advantages are that we are no longer vulnerable to
SQL injections and that we do not have to hex-encode binary fields
like private keys, hashes, and routing onions, halving the storage
requirements for those.

Also, we split the more sophisticated json_add helpers to avoid pulling in
everything into lightning-cli, and unify the routines to print struct
short_channel_id (it's ':', not '/' too).

Not the nicest code, but it allows us to store the bip32_max_index so
that we don't forget our addresses upon restart. We could have done
the same by retrieving the max index from our index, but then we'd
forget addresses that don't have an associated output. Conversion
to/from string is so that we can store arbitrary one off values in the
DB in the future, independent of type.
