First, make sure we spell it correctly! Then, fix channeld's HTLC signature confusion (thanks to lightning/bolts#491). Then, fix onchaind's HTLC confusion.

This is all due to a great bug report by molz on #c-lightning on Freenode.

I audited the callers.  So remove the code which tested this.

This was suggested by Pierre-Marie as the solution to the 'same HTLC,
different CLTV' signature mismatch.

…ure.

Create a second HTLC with a different CTLV but same preimage; onchaind
uses the wrong signature and fails to grind it.

We set up HTLCs with the same preimage and both different and same
CLTVs in both directions, then make sure that onchaind is OK and that
the HTLCs are failed without causing downstream failure.

We do this for both our-unilateral and their-unilateral cases.

If there are two HTLCs with the same preimage, lightningd would always
find the first one.  By including the id in the `struct htlc_stub`
it's both faster (normal HTLC lookup) and allows lightningd to detect
that onchaind wants to fail both of them.

When we have multiple HTLCs with the same preimage and the same CLTV,
it doesn't matter what order we treat them (they're literally
identical).  But when we offer HTLCs with the same preimage but
different CLTVs, the commitment tx outputs look identical, but the
HTLC txs are different: if we simply take the first HTLC which matches
(and that's not the right one), the HTLC signature we got from them
won't match.  As we rely on the signature matching to detect the fee
paid, we get:

	onchaind: STATUS_FAIL_INTERNAL_ERROR: grind_fee failed

So we alter match_htlc_output() to return an array of all matching
HTLC indices, which can have more than one entry for offered HTLCs.
If it's our commitment, we loop through until one of the HTLC
signatures matches.  If it's their commitment, we choose the HTLC with
the largest CLTV: we're going to ignore it once that hits anyway, so
this is the most conservative approach.  If it's a penalty, it doesn't
matter since we steal all HTLC outputs the same independent of CLTV.

For accepted HTLCs, the CLTV value is encoded in the witness script,
so this confusion isn't possible.  We nonetheless assert that the
CLTVs all match in that case.
