In this commit we fix a lingering bug in our output sanity checks that
would only show up during time periods of persistently higher fees.
Before this commit we would incorrectly use the fee rate instead of the
min relay fee when checking an output for dust. This would cause us to
mistakenly reject a transaction for having a dust output.
We fix this by falling back to using the current min-relayfee.
In this commit, we address an issue with chains that are not current,
like in the often case of regtest and simnet chains. Syncing the wallet
would fail due to the chain not being current and not finding a suitable
birthday block. We fix this by just using the last synced block as the
birthday block to ensure we can properly sync to the chain.
In this commit, we fix a regression in the wallet when attempting to
sync new developer test chains such as regtest and simnet. The wallet
would block syncing until a block was mined, but in order to mine a
block, an address must be generated by the wallet first. This address
generation would block as the syncing logic was already holding the
database's mutex.
In this commit, we fix an issue with the wallet's initial sync logic
where we'd miss processing all of the blocks in the chain. This can
happen if the backend is considered current while we're still catching
up. To address this, we make sure we update our best height to process
those missed blocks.

By doing this, we defer all error string-matching to happen within
publishTransaction, which allows us to simplify some of the existing
logic and maintain consistency.
In this commit, we rework how publishTransaction works in order to
correctly handle removing invalid transactions from the wallet's
unconfirmed transaction store. This is crucial as otherwise, invalid
transactions can remain within the wallet and be used for further
transactions, causing a chain of inaccurate transactions.
publishTransaction will now only return an error if the transaction
fails to be broadcast and it has not been previously seen in the
mempool/chain. This is intended in order to provide an easier API to
callers. Any other errors when broadcasting the transaction will cause
it to be removed from the wallet's unconfirmed transaction store to
ensure it maintains an accurate view of the chain.
We do this in order to be able to reuse the new publishTransaction
method within other parts of the wallet in order to consolidate all
error string-matching within one place.
This is done to avoid the birthday rescan to fail if the chain backend
reports a bestheight of 0.
Earlier it could happen that we attempted to sync to the birthday, but
since only the genesis block was available, which would be rejected as
birthday block because of the timestamp, it would fail to find a block
and the sync would fail.
In this commit, we consolidate the existing rollback logic to carry out
its duties under one database transaction.

In this commit, we refactor the wallet's syncing logic with
syncWithChain to use the newer, simpler methods: syncToBirthday and
recovery. Along the way, we also fix a bug within the wallet where it
was possible to sync past the birthday, but not sync to tip completely
and restart, which would lead to us starting a rescan from the latest
synced height, rather than from the birthday stamp.
This commit slightly changes the wallet's syncing behavior to the
following:
1. Ensure the wallet is synced to its birthday.
2. Perform a recovery if requested.
3. Check for chain reorgs.
4. Dispatch a rescan from the current synced height.

In this commit, we add a new recovery method to the wallet. This method
attempts to recover any unspent outputs which pay to any of the wallet's
addresses. Most of the logic found within it is heavily borrowed from
the existing syncWithChain method. This method is currently unused, but
it will end up replacing some of the existing sync logic in a later
commit.
In this commit, we add a new syncToBirthday method to the wallet. This
method intends to sync the wallet's point of the view of the chain until
finding its birthday. Most of the logic found within it is heavily
borrowed from the existing syncWithChain method. This method is
currently unused, but it will end up replacing some of the existing sync
logic in a later commit.

In this commit, we address an issue with the wallet where it would
always request a rescan from the birthday block. This is very crucial
for older wallets, as it'll potentially go through thousands of blocks.
To address this, we'll now only request a rescan from our birthday if
we're recovering our wallet from our seed, the birthday block was rolled
back, or if we're performing our initial sync. Otherwise, we'll request
a rescan from tip.
In this commit, we address a slight regression within the wallet
that was introduced in a previous commit. When attempting to send coins
on-chain, we would never ask the chain backend to notify us of the
transaction upon confirmation. This, along with the rebroadcast of
unconfirmed transactions logic, would result in the wallet becoming out
of sync with the chain.
Below is an example of how this could have happened:
1. Send funds on-chain.
2. Wallet doesn't ask to be notified of the confirmation.
3. Since the wallet is not notified of the confirmation, the
transaction remains in the unconfirmed bucket, even though it might
have already confirmed on-chain.
4. Restart and trigger the rebroadcast of unconfirmed transactions.
5. The unconfirmed transaction is removed from the unconfirmed bucket
due to it already existing on-chain, without it being moved to the
confirmed bucket. Moving to the confirmed bucket would require the
block at which it confirmed, which we don't have at this point.
ImportPrivateKey
In this commit, we ensure that when an external private key is imported
into the wallet, that we do not overwrite our existing birthday with the
one provided. If this were to happen and we forced a wallet rescan using
the birthday as our starting point, then we'd miss detecting relevant
on-chain events that occurred between them.
In this commit, we modify the wallet to use the new migration logic
provided by the recently introduced migration package. Additionally,
we'll also perform all of our upgrades within the same database
transaction to guarantee fault-tolerance of the wallet.
In this commit, we relax the initial sync detection logic a bit. We do
this as right now, if a user creates an address during the sync point,
if they restart, then we'll fall back to performing a rescan from that
height as we'll detect that we aren't performing the initial sync, so
won't pick up the birthday timestamp.
To fix this, we now declare that if we have no UTXO's, then we're still
performing the initial sync. This solves this issue as when the user
restarts, we'll continue to wait for the backend to sync, and pick up
the proper birthday height before we attempt to scan forward for the
rescan. However, the one tradeoff is that we'll now always start the
rescan from the birthday height until the wallet has gained it's first
UTXO. I don't think this is too bad, as after all, the point of a wallet
is to manage utxos.
In this commit, we refactor the logic outside of PublishTransaction into
another unexported method. This will pave the road for unifying the
logic between SendOutputs and PublishTransaction.
In this commit, we simplify the logic when broadcasting transactions to
the greater network. Rather than special casing when running with a
Neutrino backend, we'll always add the transaction to the store as
relevant when attempting to broadcast it. This will properly insert it
into the store and update unconfirmed balances. In the event that the
transaction failed to broadcast, it can be removed from the store with
no side-effects, essentially acting as if the transaction was never
added to the store in the first place.
In this commit, we modify the SendOutputs method to also notify new
outgoing transctions for neutriino. For the full node backends, they'll
get this notification when the transactino hits the mempool. However,
for neutrino it will only be notified once the transaction has been
confirmed. This commit ensures that we'll notify on send as well.
This PR moves any address notifications outside of the
db transaction that creates them. This is known to have
resulted in deadlocks, since chainClient.NotifyReceived
could block the db transaction from committing.
Doing so also prevents the situation where we send
notifications about the new addresses, but the db txn
fails to commit and the addresses are in fact never
created.
