lnwallet: decouple closeObserver from main quit channel in LightningChannel
In this commit, we fix an existing bug that had ramifications within
the operation of the lnd daemon. Before this commit, if the Stop()
method was called, then the closeObserver would exit as well. This
means that would no longer be watching for channel breaches on-chain,
and could miss either a cooperative channel closure or an actual
contract breach.

To fix this, we now introduce a new method to stop for closeObserver:
CancelObserver(). This should ONLY be called once either: the contract
has been fully settled on-chain, or whom ever is watching the relevant
signals has a newer version of the channel that it will watch instead.

lnwallet

Build Status MIT licensed GoDoc

The lnwallet package implements an abstracted wallet controller that is able to drive channel funding workflows, a number of script utilities, witness generation functions for the various Lightning scripts, revocation key derivation, and the commitment update state machine.

The package is used within lnd as the core wallet of the daemon. The wallet itself is composed of several distinct interfaces that decouple the implementation of things like signing and blockchain access. This separation allows new WalletController implementations to be be easily dropped into lnd without disrupting the code base. A series of integration tests at the interface level are also in place to ensure conformance of the implementation with the interface.
