Antoine Poinsot c16c564c2c sauron: best effort detection of invalid raw blocks

It happens that Esplora will send us trimmed blocks (both my personal
instance and blockstream.info, fwiw). Try to detect it without parsing
the entire block on our side.

Sauron

A Bitcoin backend plugin relying on Esplora.

About

It allows C-lightning to run without needing a local bitcoind, and can be either self-hosted (Esplora is Open Source, and self hosting it is basically a docker one-liner).

This is still a WIP, so is the API C-lightning side. So not to be used for real.

Run

You need to:

disable the default Bitcoin backend (bcli)
register sauron
provide the API endpoint you want to use

Here is a fully reptilian example running against blockstream.info:

lightningd --mainnet --disable-plugin bcli --plugin $PWD/sauron.py --sauron-api-endpoint https://blockstream.info/api/

You can use also proxy your requests through Tor by specifying a SOCKS proxy to use with the --sauron-tor-proxy startup option, in the form address:port.

Hidden services are also supported :

lightningd --testnet --disable-plugin bcli --plugin $PWD/sauron.py --sauron-tor-proxy localhost:9050 --sauron-api-endpoint http://explorerzydxu5ecjrkwceayqybizmpjjznk5izmitf2modhcusuqlid.onion/testnet/api/
