1.3.0-0.2.0: Enhancement - Connection Options

[lnbc1QWFyb24]

This PR adds to ability to customise the way that the app will connect to a node. A direct WebSocket connection can be made to the node either with TLS or without. A custom WebSocket proxy server can also be set, so that now the Clams proxy is not a single point of failure.

Also included in this PR is a performance improvement for fetching initial data. The requests have been parallelised as Lnmessage can now handle it without having issues decoding responses.

TESTING

I will add these instructions to docs as well, since this is a great way to test the app locally with a regtest node.

1. Download Polar
2. Create a test network with a least one CoreLN node running > v0.12.0 and start the network
3. Open up the Docker dashboard and find the running container. Open up the docker compose file in your text editor:
4. Find the name of the CoreLN node and add --experimental-websocket-port=7272 to the startup command and expose the port:
5. Save the file and restart the Polar network
6. Run the clams app locally without TLS by running yarn dev-http
7. Enter the connection address using the public key of the node which is accessible from the "info" tab as well as localhost:7272.
8. Click the "Advanced" dropdown -> select direct connection -> select ws:
9. Click "Connect" and you should successfully connect to the local node.
10. To create an auth rune, click the "Actions" tab -> click "Launch which will launch a terminal window for the lightning CLI.
11. Run lightning-cli commando-rune to create a rune and paste it in to the app.
