Fixes a bug in installer registration where executable is evaluated
before entrypoints and other details are added.

Changelog-None
When enabling or disabling a plugin, the entrypoint is inferred
from the user provided name. A canonical name should be used, which
the installer entrypoint formats help to determine (this generally strips
the file extension if one is provided.)
Also adds a timeout when testing a plugin. Previously the behavior
of pyln-client was relied upon to exit if not communicating with
lightningd, however, this behavior is not universal.
Changlelog-Changed: reckless now installs node.js plugins
Also removes support for pip editable install using pyproject.toml
`pip install -e .` This was a fallback method when a requirements
file was not present, but was hacky and often failed anyway.
reckless: remove installation via pyproject.toml
This method relied on pip install in editable mode (hacky) and often
failed to complete anyhow. We should instead encourage a requirements
file to be created/used for user installation.
This should have been added earlier as @cdecker suggested, but is needed
to enable CI testing.
Changelog-Changed: Reckless - added support for networks beyond bitocoin and regtest
The switch to logging enabled verbose output regardless of the option
flag. Here the functionality is restored.
Changelog-Fixed: reckless verbosity properly applied.
`urllib3` does not ship as built-in with any of the recent python
releases, whereas `urllib` does, and for the uses we have, they are
pretty much identical.
The requests package is preferred, but until installation of python user
dependencies is implemented, sticking with standard modules allows a
frictionless experience.
Reckless was failing to install multiple plugins due to git not
appreciating the cwd being a now removed dir after the first plugin
tmp files were cleaned up.
While loading the appropriate lightningconfig file, it is now checked
against the active config file in lightningd. Because a deviation from the
default file structure would not be possible, a -conf option is also added
to explicitly pass the lightningd config file into reckless.
This also simplifies dynamic enable/disable by catching the exception
raised when the cli is unable to connect to RPC (lightningd offline or
misconfigured relative to reckless).
This change makes it easier to follow retrieval of parent directories.
Additional os.path operations replaced with their pathlib.Path equivalents
to keep module usage consistent.
The goal was to support passing a list to install, enable, etc. in order
to improve performance. Passing lists to most of the functions was less
practical than iterating through the items from the top level.
`reckless help <cmd>` previously called the function docstring. This could
be updated to use the subparser help, but would require a strict naming
convention or a dictionary. Providing a hint to use the built-in
contextual help via the option flag is hopefully sufficient.
Regtest environments commonly use explicit definition of the config
file for lightningd. This can be queried and utilized by default,
saving redundant definitions between lightning and reckless.
A simple standalone python executable to track plugin repositories, clone
to /tmp, install requirements, test plugin runs, then install and enable in
lightningd and in the config.
Changelog-Added: Reckless - a Core Lightning plugin manager
