This reverts commit 21ffe32157.
This layout is difficult to get right. Both the old and the new layout are somewhat buggy.
Reverting this only on the 4.5.x release branch. We can improve it on master.
The old layout has been out there in releases for many months, so it is safer to just use
that in the release branch for now.
In fact, semantically it might be more correct to only trigger 'blockchain_updated' and not 'network_updated' here...
Anyway, 'blockchain_updated' should be triggered whenever the Blockchain object gets longer (or changes otherwise).
In particular, in qml, the NetworkOverview only updates the displayed height on 'blockchain_updated'.
Values for exponential search are based on available fee budget:
we try with budget/64, budget/32, ..., budget/1 (spread uniformly among the selected Trampoline Forwarders).
Hence, if we make the fee budget configurable, that will usefully affect the trampoline fees as well.

This avoids some false negatives for is_proxy_tor.
(previously we only set is_proxy_tor when the proxy settings were changed)
In particular, consider scenario:
- Tor browser not running
- user sets "localhost:9150" as proxy
- detection sets network.is_proxy_tor to False
- user starts Tor browser
- network, due to retries, finds proxy working and connects to some servers
- network.is_proxy_tor remains False
- `bitstring` started depending on `bitarray` in version 4.1 [0]
- that would mean one additional dependency for us (from yet another maintainer), which is not even pure python
- we only use bitstring for bolt11-parsing
- hence this PR rewrites the bolt11-parsing and removes `bitstring` as dependency
- note: I benchmarked lndecode using [1], and the new code performs better,
taking around 80% time needed for old code (when using bitstring 3.1.9, pure python).
Though the variance is quite large in both cases.

- CoinGecko restricted its historical API to last 365 days
- we used to ask for, and get, the whole history, but now we can only ask for the last year
- so change HTTP request to only ask for 365 days
- we cache historical rates to disk
- previously we used to overwrite what is already stored, with the newly obtained data
- now this is changed so that we merge the new data into the already stored data
It might make sense to allow bump_fee on a local tx, and so wallet.get_tx_info() allows it.
For dscancel/cpfp, it does not allow it either. Still, I think this logic should be encapsulated in the wallet.
