ErikEk ef1eff1058 lnrpc: fix the existing routing fee inaccuracy
When updating the channel routing policy, we encounter an inaccurate
precision error when calculating the routing fee. The issue stems from
the way the IEEE 754 standard works.

The solution here is to add a uint64 parameter (as mentioned in the
issue) and keep the float64 fee_rate parameter but rounding the product
of the base and fee rate.

# Release Notes
## Remote signing
The [remote signing](../remote-signing.md) setup was simplified in that the
signing node now [does not need to be hooked up to its own chain
backend](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6006). A new mock chain
backend can be specified with `--bitcoin.node=nochainbackend`. That way a wallet
will be created and all signing RPCs work but the node will not look at any
chain data. It can therefore be fully offline except for a single incoming gRPC
connection from the watch-only node.
## Wallet
* A bug that prevented opening anchor-based channels from external wallets when
the internal wallet was empty even though the transaction contained a
sufficiently large output belonging to the internal wallet
[was fixed](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/5539).
In other words, freshly-installed LND can now be initialized with multiple
channels from an external (e.g. hardware) wallet *in a single transaction*.
## Database
* [Speed up graph cache loading on startup with
Postgres](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6111)
## Build System
* [Clean up Makefile by using go
install](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6035).
* [Make etcd max message size
configurable](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6049).
* [Export bitcoind port and other values for itests, useful for
using itest harness outside of
lnd](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6050).
* [Export `lntest` base node config so it can be re-used in LiT integration
tests](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6139).
## Bug fixes
* [Return the nearest known fee rate when a given conf target cannot be found
from Web API fee estimator.](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6062)
* [We now _always_ set a channel type if the other party signals the feature
bit](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6075).
* [Add `--json` flag to
`trackpayment`](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6060).
* [Clarify invalid config timeout
constraints](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6073).
* [Fix memory corruption in Mission Control
Store](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6068)
* [Ensure that the min relay fee is always clamped by our fee
floor](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6076)
* [Clarify log message about not running within
systemd](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6096)
* [Fix Postgres context cancellation](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6108)
* A conflict was found in connecting peers, where the peer bootstrapping
process and persistent connection could compete connection for a peer that
led to an already made connection being lost. [This is now fixed so that
bootstrapping will always ignore the peers chosen by the persistent
connection.](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6082)
* [Fix Postgres itests max connections](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6116)
* [Fix duplicate db connection close](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6140)
* [Fix a memory leak introduced by the new ping-header p2p enhancement](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6144)
* [Fix an issue that would prevent very old nodes from starting up due to lack of a historical channel bucket](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6159)
## RPC Server
* [ChanStatusFlags is now
exposed](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/5971) inside
WaitingCloseResp from calling `PendingChannels`.
* [Fix missing label on streamed
transactions](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/5854).
* [The `fee_rate_ppm` parameter/argument was added to
update channel policy](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/5711)
to prevent truncation error with tiny fee rates.
* [Closing txid is now
exposed](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6146) inside
WaitingCloseResp from calling `PendingChannels`.
* [CustomCaveatCondition is now properly
set](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6185) on
`RPCMiddlewareRequest` messages.
## Routing
* [Enable forced update of MC pair
history](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6180) by adding the `force`
flag to the `XImportMissionControl` RPC call.
## Documentation
* [General improvements to the mobile documentation](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6181).
