This commit is a large refactor that moves over various responsibilities
from the ChannelRouter to the graph.Builder. These include all graph
related tasks such as:
- graph pruning
- validation of new network updates & persisting new updates
- notifying topology update clients of any changes.
This is a large commit but:
- many of the files are purely moved from `routing` to `graph`
- the business logic put in the graph Builder is copied exactly as is
from the ChannelRouter with one exception:
- The ChannelRouter just needs to be able to call the Builder's
`ApplyChannelUpdate` method. So this is now exported and provided to
the ChannelRouter as a config option.
- The trickiest part was just moving over the test code since quite a
bit had to be duplicated.
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.
