In this commit, we update the Sig type to support ECDSA and schnorr
signatures. We need to do this as the HTLC signatures will become
schnorr sigs for taproot channels. The current spec draft opts to
overload this field since both the sigs are actually 64 bytes in length.
The only consideration with this move is that callers need to "coerce" a
sig to the proper type if they need schnorr signatures.
This commit was previously split into the following parts to ease
review:
- 2d746f68: replace imports
- 4008f0fd: use ecdsa.Signature
- 849e33d1: remove btcec.S256()
- b8f6ebbd: use v2 library correctly
- fa80bca9: bump go modules
To simplify the message signing API even further, we refactor the
lnwallet.MessageSigner interface to use a key locator instead of the
public key to identify which key should be signed with.
In this commit, we add a new signature type. We’ll use this type to
avoid fully decoding a signature on the wire into a btcec.Signature.
This type is only really needed when we need to do signature
validation, as a result, always encoding it is a waste. Several helper
methods have been added to the new struct in order to ensure that we
can use it in the existing codebase without substantial issues.
This commit modifies the encoding of signatures on the wire to use
a fixed-size 64-byte format. This change is required as the current spec
draft dictates that all signatures be encoded as `R` and `S` as 32-byte
big-endian integers. With this, signatures are now always a _fixed_ size
slice of bytes on the wire, which is nice to have.
Fixes#83.
