channeldb: add new frozen channel type bit and thaw height
In this commit, we add a new channel type bit: a frozen channel. A
frozen channel is one that can only be cooperatively closed by the
responder, but not the initiator. This channel type is useful for
certain classes of channel factory like protocols. We then add a new key
on the channel bucket level to store the height after which this
restriction no longer applies.

channeldb

Build Status MIT licensed GoDoc

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
