chainntnfs/neutrinonotify: disable disconnected block ntfns while
rescanning

In this commit, we modify the rescan options Neutrino uses when
performing a rescan for historical chain events to disable disconnected
block notifications. This is needed as the Neutrino backend will mutate
its internal state while rewinding, which causes disconnected block
notifications to be sent. Since the notifier acts upon these
notifications, they would cause it to also rewind unnecessarily.

chainntnfs

Build Status MIT licensed GoDoc

The chainntnfs package implements a set of interfaces which allow callers to receive notifications in response to specific on-chain events. The set of notifications available include:

  • Notifications for each new block connected to the current best chain.
  • Notifications once a txid has reached a specified number of confirmations.
  • Notifications once a target outpoint (txid:index) has been spent.

These notifications are used within lnd in order to properly handle the workflows for: channel funding, cooperative channel closures, forced channel closures, channel contract breaches, sweeping time-locked outputs, and finally pruning the channel graph.

This package is intentionally general enough to be applicable outside the specific use cases within lnd outlined above. The current sole concrete implementation of the ChainNotifier interface depends on btcd.
