In preparation for moving the graph related schema structs to the graph
package in an upcoming commit, we move these methods to the graph
package. The structs we will move make use of these methods but we still
import them from channeldb so as to keep the ReadElement and
WriteElement helpers working as they do today.
The channeldb implements the persistent storage engine for lnd and
generically a data storage layer for the required state within the Lightning
Network. The backing storage engine is
boltdb, an embedded pure-go key-value store
based off of LMDB.
The package implements an object-oriented storage model with queries and
mutations flowing through a particular object instance rather than the database
itself. The storage implemented by the objects includes: open channels, past
commitment revocation states, the channel graph which includes authenticated
node and channel announcements, outgoing payments, and invoices
