We do this in preparation for moving channel cache population logic out
of the constructor and into the Start method. We also will later on
(when topology subscription is moved to the ChannelGraph), have a
goroutine that will need to be kicked off and stopped.
The routing package implements authentication+validation of channel
announcements, pruning of the channel graph, path finding within the network,
sending outgoing payments into the network and synchronizing new peers to our
channel graph state.
