There are some legitimate use-cases for changing the gap limit,
so just as it has already been possible to do in the GUI (using the console only! don't expose this to mere mortals.),
now CLI/RPC users have this exposed too.
The "changegaplimit" command will always raise unless invoked with the --iknowwhatimdoing option.
closes#5882
e.g.:
$ curl --data-binary '{"id":"curltext","jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"changegaplimit","params":{"new_limit": 30, "iknowwhatimdoing": true, "wallet":"~/.electrum/testnet/wallets/test_segwit_2"}}' http://user:password@127.0.0.1:7777
$ ./run_electrum --testnet changegaplimit 30 --iknowwhatimdoing -w ~/.electrum/testnet/wallets/test_segwit_2
- print the test name before each test
- start only needed agents (alice, bob, carol)
- set settle_delay using setconfig instead of restarting daemon
- test the watchtower ctn in test_watchtower
By default, Electrum saves the last opened wallet's path as well as
recently opened wallets.
This can be damaging to plausible deniability.
Now it's possible to run Electrum with `--forgetconfig` to not
write to the config at all, which includes the wallet paths.
- allow 'spend max' when opening a channel (fixes#5698)
- display amount minus fee when 'max' buttons are pressed
- estimate fee of channel funding using a template with dummy address
The few other cases that used SimpleConfig.get_instance() now
either get passed a config instance, or they try to get a reference
to something else that has a reference to a config.

- use InvoiceInfo (NamedTuple) for normal operations,
because lndecode operations can be very slow.
- all invoices/requests are stored in wallet
- invoice expiration detection is performed in wallet
- CLI commands: list_invoices, add_request, add_lightning_request
- revert 0062c6d695 because it forbids self-payments
- We need only two types: PR_TYPE_ONCHAIN and PR_TYPE_LN
- BIP70 is no longer a type, but an optional field in the dict
- Invoices in the wallet are indexed by a hash of their serialized list of outputs.
- Requests are still indexed by address, because we never generate Paytomany requests.
- Add 'clear_invoices' command to CLI
- Add 'save invoice' button to Qt
Previously commands did not run on the asyncio thread but now they do.
"restore" was polling like "while 1: time.sleep()", blocking the event loop.
Now "restore" does not sync the wallet; which is actually cleaner
as previously this wallet would never get unloaded from the daemon (syncing forever).
This is also symmetric with the "create" cmd which also does not try to sync with the network.
However now it became difficult to write a script that restores a wallet and wants to wait
until it gets synced. Workaround for now is to poll with "list_wallets" whether it's synced.
We could create a new command that blocks until the loaded wallet gets synced.
- All requests have an expiration date
- Paid requests are automatically removed from the list
- Unpaid, unconfirmed and expired requests are displayed
- Fix a bug in get_payment_status, conf was off by one
