The old payment lifecycle is removed due to it's not "unit" -
maintaining these tests probably takes as much work as the actual
methods being tested, if not more so. Moreover, the usage of the old
mockers in current payment lifecycle test is removed as it re-implements
other interfaces and sometimes implements it uniquely just for the
tests. This is bad as, not only we need to work on the actual interface
implementations and test them , but also re-implement them again in the
test without testing them!
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.
