When forwarding an HTLC and the outgoing channel doesn't have
enough funds or other transient issues, we are failing the
HTLC with a temporary channel failure.
From BOLT #04:
* if during forwarding to its receiving peer, an otherwise unspecified,
transient error occurs in the outgoing channel (e.g. channel capacity
reached, too many in-flight HTLCs, etc.):
-> return a temporary_channel_failure error.
We've already been pinning pip/setuptools/wheel; it is `pip freeze --all`
(the "--all" arg) that does that. This change just tries to ensure that
we pin the latest version when possible.
Previously if e.g. "pip" was not pulled in by any package in "requirements${i}.txt",
we would just pin whatever is installed locally.
This is most useful when receiving MPP where there is a non-trivial chance
that we have received some HTLCs for a payment but not all, and the user
closes the program. We try to fail them and wait for the fails to get
ACKed, with a timeout of course.
A penalty is added for split configurations which saturate a channel.
Saturation of channels is discouraged as we don't know the fees
beforehand. The penalty is accomplished via an exponential function that
kicks in when the subamount reaches about the total funds available
(this amount is controlled by the parameter EXHAUST_DECAY_FRACTION).
