The class TxBatcher handles the creation, broadcast and replacement
of replaceable transactions. Callers (LNWatcher, SwapManager) use
methods add_payment_output and add_sweep_info. Transactions
created by TxBatcher may combine sweeps and outgoing payments.
Transactions created by TxBatcher will have their fee bumped
automatically (this was only the case for sweeps before).
TxBatcher manages several TxBatches. TxBatches are created
dynamically when needed.
The GUI does not touch txbatcher transactions:
- wallet.get_candidates_for_batching excludes txbatcher
transactions
- RBF dialogs do not work with txbatcher transactions
wallet:
- instead of reading config variables, make_unsigned_transaction
takes new parameters: base_tx, send_change_to_lighting
tests:
- unit tests in test_txbatcher.py (replaces test_sswaps.py)
- force all regtests to use MPP, so that we sweep transactions
with several HTLCs. This forces the payment manager to aggregate
first-stage HTLC tx inputs. second-stage are not batched for now.
- Wallet.make_unsigned_transaction takes a FeePolicy parameter
- fee sliders act on a FeePolicy instead of config
- different fee policies may be used for different purposes
- do not detect dust outputs in lnsweep, delegate that to lnwatcher
allow enable/disable proxy without nuking proxy mode, host and port (explicit enable_proxy config setting),
move tor probe from frontend to backend code, add probe buttons for Qt and QML
running a watchtower requires to be able to run a daemon with the
watchtower plugin enabled. If users succeed at doing that, we
can expect them to be able to configure theclient using the
command line.
(that would not work with QML, though. maybe QML could use an
advanced config editor)
- Separation between SwapManager and its transport:
Legacy transpport uses http, Nostr uses websockets
- The transport uses a context to open/close connections.
This context is not async, because it needs to be called
from the GUI
- Swapserver fees values are initialized to None instead
of 0, so that any attempt to use them before the swap
manager is initialized will raise an exception.
- Remove swapserver fees disk caching (swap_pairs file)
- Regtests use http transport
- Android uses http transport (until QML is ready)

Alternatively we could do a config upgrade (convert_version_*) to fix that specific issue,
but they are not safe against downgrade-upgrade-again, so probably not the best choice for
crash-inducing values.
And this kind of converter is a generic solution that can be useful for other configvars later
(though for most usages I expect we will also need a converter for the setter).
- rename globals
- also rm hardcoded strings from qml
- use consistent unit names in qml
(previously mixed sat/vB and sat/byte (latter coming from core lib))
The existing logic of only updating the fee if it is not within 2x of
the current 2-block-eta does not work well for the current mempool.
The current mempool looks a bit weird: you need ~20 sat/vbyte to even get into it,
but there is only around 5 MB of txs paying >25 sat/vbyte.
The estimates look like this:
```
>>> config.fee_estimates
{144: 25764, 25: 27075, 10: 34538, 5: 34538, 2: 34538}
```
This commit changes the logic so that we send update_fee if the old rate is
- below 75% of the current 2-block-eta (instead of 50%), or
- below the 25-block-eta
On Android, we disallow screenshots on screens where the seed is visible.
(The seed is extremely sensitive data that should not be stored digitally without
significant precautions but it's also cumbersome to write down or memorise, so
some people instinctively just try to take a screenshot of it when creating a wallet.)
We do this by using the built-in OS mechanism of setting FLAG_SECURE on the window.
However, on some devices with custom ROMs (one report from LineageOS, one from /e/OS),
unsetting FLAG_SECURE crashes the application for some reason.
As a workaround, this commit adds a config setting into the Preferences,
to disable this mechanism and just always allow screenshots.
(note that you can get into the qml Preferences before creating/opening any wallet)

- a node scid alias is derived from the node ID
- the channel opening fee is sent in a TLV field of open_channel
- the server requires htlc settlement before broadcasting
(server does not trust client)
