- CoinGecko restricted its historical API to last 365 days
- we used to ask for, and get, the whole history, but now we can only ask for the last year
- so change HTTP request to only ask for 365 days
- we cache historical rates to disk
- previously we used to overwrite what is already stored, with the newly obtained data
- now this is changed so that we merge the new data into the already stored data
It would be simple to hard fail at import time if any of the interesting
libsecp modules are missing, as it was done before this commit. However,
some Linux distros (atm current ubuntu lts, 22.04) lack new enough libsecp.
Also, for now, we don't use the schnorr APIs yet anyway. Until we start
to rely on them more, it is feasible to only require them when they are
used.
I am hoping we will be able to revert this commit later though, to keep
things simple.
I decided to use the stdlib (hashlib) instead of libsecp for this,
as it is simple enough, and the former is faster on my PC.
Added a unit test that compares the two.
This gives more time for the client to come back online.

- re note on submarine_swaps.py#L53:
lnpeer.Peer.maybe_fulfill_htlc only checks against MIN_FINAL_CLTV_DELTA_ACCEPTED(=144),
so this increased cltv_delta is not enforced when receiving the htlc on ln.
It is put in the invoice, so the sender is supposed to honour it ofc.
It would be nice to enforce it (make the check in maybe_fulfill_htlc dependent on
what was in the invoice).
