The history tab would show an incorrect feerate for partial/unsigned (local) txs,
if they had any p2sh/p2wsh txins. We would just guess the script is p2wpkh, and
use that for the size calc. Now with calling add_info_from_wallet, the correct
size is used to calculate the feerate.
(The gui tx dialogs call add_info_from_wallet independently, so the size/feerate
shown there were already correct.)
The messages are sometimes logged and sometimes shown to the user,
- for logging we might not want to truncate or have higher limits,
- but when shown to the user, we definitely want to truncate the error text.
It is simplest to just do the truncation here, at the lowest level.
Note that we usually prepend the error text with a header e.g. "[DO NOT TRUST THIS MESSAGE]"
and if the error text is too long, this header at the beginning might get "lost" in some way.
Hence we should truncate the error text.
Some functions have an argument named "seed_type" in which it was annoying to call the seed_type() fn.
(especially for functions inside the same module)

- `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.

The transaction dict can also contain PSBTs (in addition to complete raw hex txs).
This is the case if the user has saved a partial (e.g. unsigned) tx as local into the history.
