When core lightning is asking the information about
the blockchain with `getchaininfo` command lightningd
know already the information about the min and max block height.
the problem is when we have a smarter Bitcoin backend that is able
to switch between different clients in some cases is helpful
give the information about current known height by lightningd and
pass it down to the plugin.
In this way, the plugin knows what is the correct known height from lightnind, and can
try to fix some problems if any exit.
This is particularly useful when you are syncing a new backend from scratch
like https://github.com/cloudhead/nakamoto and we avoid returning the
lower height from the known, and avoid the crash of core lightning.
With this information, the plugin can start to sync the chain and return
the answer back only when the chain is in sync with the current status of
lightningd.
Another reason to add this field and not wait the correct block in core
lightning itself is because Bitcoin Core is extremely slow to sync up,
so the question here is, how long should we wait? The time depends
on various factors.
With this approach of informing the plugin about the height, in some cases,
you can start the syncing but move the execution to another backend until
the previous one is ready.
The problem I want to solve is that I don't want to be left in the dark when
we run `getchaininfo`, and I want to have the opportunity to wait for
the blockchain sync or decide to dispatch the request elsewhere.
Changelog-Added: Pass the current known block height down to the getchaininfo call.

Changelog-Added: Plugins: `getmanfest` response can contain `nonnumericids` to indicate support for modern string-based JSON request ids.
Changelog-Deprecated: Plugins: numeric JSON request ids: modern ones will be strings (see doc/lightningd-rpc.7.md!)
We had a scheme where lightningd itself would put a per-node secret in
the blinded path, then we'd tell the caller when it was used. Then it
simply checks the alias to determine if the correct path was used.
But this doesn't work when we start to offer multiple blinded paths.
So go for a far simpler scheme, where the secret is generated (and
stored) by the caller, and hand it back to them.
We keep the split "with secret" or "without secret" API, since I'm
sure callers who don't care about the secret won't check that it
doesn't exist! And without that, someone can use a blinded path for a
different message and get a response which may reveal the node.

Otherwise what the hook sees is actually a lie, and if it sets it
we might override it.
The side effect is that we add an explicit "forward_to" field, and
allow hooks to override it. This lets a *hook* control channel
choice explicitly.
Changelod-Added: Plugins: `htlc_accepted_hook` return can specify what channel to forward htlc to.

Changelog-Changed: JSON-RPC: `listpeers` `status` now refers to "channel ready" rather than "funding locked" (BOLT language change for zeroconf channels)
Changelog-Added: JSON-RPC: `channel_opened` notification `channel_ready` flag.
Changelog-Deprecated: JSON-RPC: `channel_opened` notification `funding_locked` flag (use `channel_ready`: BOLTs namechange).
We had json_add_amount_msat_only(), which was designed to be used to
print out msat fields, if we had sats.
However, we misused it, so split it into the three different cases:
1. json_add_amount_sat_msat: We are using it correctly, with a field called
xxx_msat.
2. json_add_amount_sats_deprecated: We were using it wrong, so deprecate
the old field and create a new one which does end in _msat.
3. json_add_sats: we were using it to hand sats as a JSON parameter to an
interface, where "XXXsat".

Mostly comments and docs: some places are actually paths, which
I have avoided changing. We may migrate them slowly, particularly
when they're user-visible.

The blockheight is zero though, since these aren't included in a block
yet.
We also don't issue an 'external' deposit event if we can tell that the
address you're sending to actually belongs to our wallet (we'll issue a
deposit event when it gets included in a block)
If a coin move concerns an external account, it's really useful to know
which 'internal' account initiated the transfer.
We're about to add a notification for withdrawals, so we can use this to
track wallet pushes to outside addresses
Changelog-Added: JSONRPC: `coin_movement` to 'external' accounts now include an 'originating_account' field
Fire off a snapshot of current account balances (node wallet + every
'active' channel) after we've caught up to the chain tip for the *first*
time (in other words, on start).
We record the amount of fees collected for a routed payment. For
simplicity's sake on the data agg side, we record the fee payment on
*BOTH* the incoming htlc and the outgoing htlc. Note that this results
in double counting if you add up the fees from both an in-routed and
out-routed payment.
Get rid of the 'movement_idx', since we replay events now.
Since we're removing a field from the 'coin_movement' event emission, we
bump the version type.
Changelog-Updated: `coin_movements` events have been revamped and are now on version 2.

We renamed the enctlv field to encrypted_recipient_data in the spec, and the
new onion_message is message 513. We don't handle it until the next patch.
Two renames:
1. blinding_seed -> blinding_point.
2. enctlv -> encrypted_recipient_data.
We don't do a compat cycle for our JSON APIs for these experimental
features only used by our own plugins, we just rename.

Changelog-Changed: Plugins: `shutdown` notification is now send when lightningd is almost completely shutdown, RPC calls then fail with error code -5.
I noticed that `wallet/db_postgres.c` never actually calls `db_changes_add`.
PostgreSQL arguably has a better replication system (a PostgreSQL cluster)
than what `db_write` hook can offer, so rather than make `db_write` work on
PostgreSQL, just document that it does not actually work there.

This renames all occurences of use_proxy_always to always_use_proxy
to keep it inline with config values. This was a bit confusing.
Only significant change is that the payload in the plugins init
requests also contained the old name. No plugin currently seems to make
use of this variable yet. The old name 'use_proxy_always' is added when
deprecated APIs is enabled.
