We add an extra option to the AddLocalAlias method which only controls
whether we store a reverse lookup from the alias back to the base scid
it corresponds to. The previous flag "gossip" is still maintained, and
in a way supercedes the new flag (it will also store the base scid
lookup even if the base lookup flag isn't set). The only call that sets
this option is the XAddLocalChanAlias RPC endpoint, where we want to
make sure that a reverse lookup is stored in the alias manager in order
to later expose it via the new RPC method.
feature-bit channels
This allows opening zero-conf chan-type, scid-alias chan-type, and
scid-alias feature-bit channels. scid-alias chan-type channels are
required to be private. Two paths are available for opening a zero-conf
channel:
* explicit chan-type negotiation
* LDK carve-out where chan-types are not used, LND is on the
receiving end, and a ChannelAcceptor is used to enable zero-conf
When a zero-conf channel is negotiated, the funding manager:
* sends a FundingLocked with an alias
* waits for a FundingLocked from the remote peer
* calls addToRouterGraph to persist the channel using our alias in
the graph. The peer's alias is used to send them a ChannelUpdate.
* wait for six confirmations. If public, the alias edge in the
graph is deleted and replaced (not atomically) with the confirmed
edge. Our policy is also read-and-replaced, but the counterparty's
policy won't exist until they send it to us.
When a scid-alias-feature channel is negotiated, the funding manager:
* sends a FundingLocked with an alias:
* calls addToRouterGraph, sends ChannelUpdate with the confirmed SCID
since it exists.
* when six confirmations occurs, the edge is deleted and re-inserted
since the peer may have sent us an alias ChannelUpdate that we are
storing in the graph.
Since it is possible for a user to toggle the scid-alias-feature-bit
to on while channels exist in the funding manager, care has been taken
to ensure that an alias is ALWAYS sent in the funding_locked message
if this happens.
