Rusty Russell fe86c117d9 datastore: turn keys into arrays
After some discussion with @shesek, and my own usage, we agreed that
a more comprehensive interface, which explicitly supports grouping,
is desirable.

Thus keys are now arrays, with the semantic that a key is either a
parent or has a value, never both.

For convenience in the JSON schema, we always return them as arrays,
though we accept simple strings as arguments.

lightning-listdatastore -- Command for listing (plugin) data
============================================================
SYNOPSIS
--------
**listdatastore** [*key*]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
The **listdatastore** RPC command allows plugins to fetch data which was
stored in the c-lightning database.
All immediate children of the *key* (or root children) are returned:
a *key* with children won't have a *hex* or *generation* entry.
RETURN VALUE
------------
[comment]: # (GENERATE-FROM-SCHEMA-START)
On success, an object containing **datastore** is returned. It is an array of objects, where each object contains:
- **key** (array of strings):
- Part of the key added to the datastore
- **generation** (u64, optional): The number of times this has been updated
- **hex** (hex, optional): The hex data from the datastore
- **string** (string, optional): The data as a string, if it's valid utf-8
[comment]: # (GENERATE-FROM-SCHEMA-END)
The following error codes may occur:
- -32602: invalid parameters.
