Module lightning::ln::channelmanager

The top-level channel management and payment tracking stuff lives here.

The ChannelManager is the main chunk of logic implementing the lightning protocol and is responsible for tracking which channels are open, HTLCs are in flight and reestablishing those upon reconnect to the relevant peer(s).

It does not manage routing logic (see ln::router for that) nor does it manage constructing on-chain transactions (it only monitors the chain to watch for any force-closes that might imply it needs to fail HTLCs/payments/channels it manages).
