* multi: extend InvoiceDB methods with a context argument
This commit adds a context to InvoiceDB's methods. Along this refactor
we also extend InvoiceRegistry methods with contexts where it makes
sense. This change is essential to be able to provide kvdb and sqldb
implementations for InvoiceDB.
* channeldb: restrict invoice tests to only use an InvoiceDB instance
* docs: update release notes for 0.18.0
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
