Olaoluwa Osuntokun 98f63cdce1 routing: add new paymentSession companion struct to missionControl
In this commit, we modify the pruning semantics of the missionControl
struct. Before this commit, on each payment attempt, we would fetch a
new graph pruned view each time. This served to instantly propagate any
detected failures to all outstanding payment attempts. However, this
meant that we could at times get stuck in a retry loop if sends take a
few second, then we may prune an edge, try another, then the original
edge is now unpruned.

To remedy this, we now introduce the concept of a paymentSession. The
session will start out as a snapshot of the latest graph prune view.
Any payment failures are now reported directly to the paymentSession
rather than missionControl. The rationale for this is that
edges/vertexes pruned as result of failures will never decay for a
local payment session, only for the global prune view. With this in
place, we ensure that our set of prune view only grows for a session.

Fixes #536.

Build Status MIT licensed GoDoc

The routing package implements authentication+validation of channel announcements, pruning of the channel graph, path finding within the network, sending outgoing payments into the network and synchronizing new peers to our channel graph state.
