Only disable channels ~10 min after disconnect, rather than one - #2198

When generating a `channel_update` either in response to a fee configuration change or an HTLC failure, we currently poll the channel to check if the peer's connected when setting the disabled bit in the `channel_update`. This could cause cases where we set the disable bit even though the peer *just* disconnected, and don't generate a followup broadcast `channel_update` with the disabled bit unset. While a node generally shouldn't rebroadcast a `channel_update` it received in an onion, there's nothing inherently stopping them from doing so. Obviously in the fee-update case we expect the message to propagate. Luckily, since we already "stage" disable-changed updates, we can check the staged state and use that to set the disabled bit in all `channel_update` cases.
We correctly send out a gossip channel disable update after one full time tick being down (1-2 minutes). This is pretty nice in that it avoids nodes trying to route through our nodes too often if they're down. Other nodes have a much longer time window, causing them to have much less aggressive channel disables. Sadly, at one minute it's not super uncommon for tor nodes to get disabled (once a day or so on two nodes I looked at), and this causes the lightning terminal scorer to consider the LDK node unstable (even though it's the one doing the disabling - so is online). This causes user frustration and makes LDK look bad (even though it's probably failing fewer payments). Given this, and future switches to block-based `channel_update` timestamp fields, it makes sense to go ahead and switch to delaying channel disable announcements for 10 minutes. This puts us more in line with other implementations and reduces gossip spam, at the cost of less reliable payments. Fixeslightningdevkit#2175, at least the currently visible parts.

The flag literals are never clear to me lol. But I know creating consts for all of them will be a bit noisy in the repo. I'd like to do it at some later stage though. Also with all the error codes.

Yea, we should, but doesn't have to happen now, its not much worse than it is upstream.

0.0.115 - Apr 24, 2023 - "Rebroadcast the Bugfixes" API Updates =========== * The MSRV of the main LDK crates has been increased to 1.48 (lightningdevkit#2107). * Attempting to claim an un-expired payment on a channel which has closed no longer fails. The expiry time of payments is exposed via `PaymentClaimable::claim_deadline` (lightningdevkit#2148). * `payment_metadata` is now supported in `Invoice` deserialization, sending, and receiving (via a new `RecipientOnionFields` struct) (lightningdevkit#2139, lightningdevkit#2127). * `Event::PaymentFailed` now exposes a failure reason (lightningdevkit#2142). * BOLT12 messages now support stateless generation and validation (lightningdevkit#1989). * The `NetworkGraph` is now pruned of stale data after RGS processing (lightningdevkit#2161). * Max inbound HTLCs in-flight can be changed in the handshake config (lightningdevkit#2138). * `lightning-transaction-sync` feature `esplora-async-https` was added (lightningdevkit#2085). * A `ChannelPending` event is now emitted after the initial handshake (lightningdevkit#2098). * `PaymentForwarded::outbound_amount_forwarded_msat` was added (lightningdevkit#2136). * `ChannelManager::list_channels_by_counterparty` was added (lightningdevkit#2079). * `ChannelDetails::feerate_sat_per_1000_weight` was added (lightningdevkit#2094). * `Invoice::fallback_addresses` was added to fetch `bitcoin` types (lightningdevkit#2023). * The offer/refund description is now exposed in `Invoice{,Request}` (lightningdevkit#2206). Backwards Compatibility ======================= * Payments sent with the legacy `*_with_route` methods on LDK 0.0.115+ will no longer be retryable via the LDK 0.0.114- `retry_payment` method (lightningdevkit#2139). * `Event::PaymentPathFailed::retry` was removed and will always be `None` for payments initiated on 0.0.115 which fail on an earlier version (lightningdevkit#2063). * `Route`s and `PaymentParameters` with blinded path information will not be readable on prior versions of LDK. Such objects are not currently constructed by LDK, but may be when processing BOLT12 data in a coming release (lightningdevkit#2146). * Providing `ChannelMonitorUpdate`s generated by LDK 0.0.115 to a `ChannelMonitor` on 0.0.114 or before may panic (lightningdevkit#2059). Note that this is in general unsupported, and included here only for completeness. Bug Fixes ========= * Fixed a case where `process_events_async` may `poll` a `Future` which has already completed (lightningdevkit#2081). * Fixed deserialization of `u16` arrays. This bug may have previously corrupted the historical buckets in a `ProbabilisticScorer`. Users relying on the historical buckets may wish to wipe their scorer on upgrade to remove corrupt data rather than waiting on it to decay (lightningdevkit#2191). * The `process_events_async` task is now `Send` and can thus be polled on a multi-threaded runtime (lightningdevkit#2199). * Fixed a missing macro export causing `impl_writeable_tlv_based_enum{,_upgradable}` calls to not compile (lightningdevkit#2091). * Fixed compilation of `lightning-invoice` with both `no-std` and serde (lightningdevkit#2187) * Fix an issue where the `background-processor` would not wake when a `ChannelMonitorUpdate` completed asynchronously, causing delays (lightningdevkit#2090). * Fix an issue where `process_events_async` would exit immediately (lightningdevkit#2145). * `Router` calls from the `ChannelManager` now call `find_route_with_id` rather than `find_route`, as was intended and described in the API (lightningdevkit#2092). * Ensure `process_events_async` always exits if any sleep future returns true, not just if all sleep futures repeatedly return true (lightningdevkit#2145). * `channel_update` messages no longer set the disable bit unless the peer has been disconnected for some time. This should resolve cases where channels are disabled for extended periods of time (lightningdevkit#2198). * We no longer remove CLN nodes from the network graph for violating the BOLT spec in some cases after failing to pay through them (lightningdevkit#2220). * Fixed a debug assertion which may panic under heavy load (lightningdevkit#2172). * `CounterpartyForceClosed::peer_msg` is now wrapped in UntrustedString (lightningdevkit#2114) * Fixed a potential deadlock in `funding_transaction_generated` (lightningdevkit#2158). Security ======== * Transaction re-broadcasting is now substantially more aggressive, including a new regular rebroadcast feature called on a timer from the `background-processor` or from `ChainMonitor::rebroadcast_pending_claims`. This should substantially increase transaction confirmation reliability without relying on downstream `TransactionBroadcaster` implementations for rebroadcasting (lightningdevkit#2203, lightningdevkit#2205, lightningdevkit#2208). * Implemented the changes from BOLT PRs lightningdevkit#1031, lightningdevkit#1032, and lightningdevkit#1040 which resolve a privacy vulnerability which allows an intermediate node on the path to discover the final destination for a payment (lightningdevkit#2062).
