Does the allocation and copying; this is useful because we can avoid being fooled into doing giant allocations. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
These just run the test vectors and add a test for the devtools/onion tool so we don't accidentally break them.
We will later use these to generate RV compressed onions and to opt into the rendezvous style generation.
Adds the `--rendezvous-id` option allowing the caller to specify the node_id of the rendez-vous node, and opting into the compressed onion generation.
This one generates a compressed onion, decompresses it, and then proceeds with normal processing.
Also implements a way to decompress an onion using the devtools/onion tool Changelog-Added: devtools: The `onion` tool can now generate, compress and decompress onions for rendez-vous routing
Expands the interface to play with onions a bit more. Potentially a bit slower due to allocations, but that's a small price to pay. It also allows us to avoid serializing a compressed onion to `u8*` if we process it right away.

It also removes the duplicate compression code and serialization code.

We're going to use this for messages, not just rendezvous. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
This avoid the requirement to use a temporary file. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
This is in preparation for messages, which want this as their assocdata. Plus, it's a bit cleaner rather than creating a tmp tal array. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
I needed them to debug the onion messages API, so might as well record them somewhere. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
The Sphinx paper calls this "payload", but we've already used that
liberally in "per-hop payload":
The payload of the message is kept separate from the mix header
used to perform the routing. It is decrypted at each stage of
mixing using a block cipher with a large block size (the size of
the entire message), such as LIONESS [1]. In case the adversary
modifies the payload in transit, any information contained in it
becomes irrecoverable. Sender-anonymous messages contain the final
address of the message, as well as the message itself as part of
the payload, and so any modification destroys this information.
Since we don't want to add a block cypher, we use chacha20poly1305
with the shared secret as the key instead.
This is described in a BOLT proposal:

For messages, we use the onion but payload lengths 0 and 1 aren't special. Create a flag to disable that logic. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
We'll need these to encrypt the end-to-end payload. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

The message construction is subtle, so I left it to userspace (after several attempts). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

This is a pre-requisite (in some form!) for offers, a.k.a more powerful invoices, but it's also much more efficient than abusing HTLCs to send messages (unless you want to send a payment as well anyway).
