We achieve our optimizations in three ways:
1. Batching calls instead of making them individually.
To get access to the batch calls, we replace all our
calls to the HTTP interface with RPC calls.
2. Never directly make network calls based on function
calls on the wallet.
Instead, inquiring about the status of a script always
just returns information based on local data. With every
call, we check when we last refreshed the local data and
do so if the data is considered to be too old. This
interval is configurable.
3. Use electrum's notification feature to get updated
with the latest blockheight.

The CLI has sensible default values for all parameters,
thus a config file is not really an advantage but just
keeps getting in our way, so re remove it.
The type hints are generated from the field names. This has the
unfortunate consequence of the config field becoming file_path which
does not really make sense people working on the codebase.
This reduces the overall amount of LoC that imports take up in our
codebase by almost 100.
It also makes merge-conflicts less likely because there is less
grouping together of imports that may lead to layout changes which
in turn can cause merge conflicts.
If the user doesn't pass `--debug`, we only show `INFO` logs but
without time and level to make it clearer that it is meant to be
read by the user.
Without `--debug`, the user sees:
Still got 0.00009235 BTC left in wallet, swapping ...
With `--debug`, they see:
2021-03-01 12:21:07 DEBUG Database and seed will be stored in /home/thomas/.local/share/xmr-btc-swap

These intermediate structs were creating unnecessary noise. The peer id
and multiaddr fields are going to be removed in the future further
reducing the need to have seperate structs for cancel, resume and
refund.
If the current balance is 0, we wait until the user deposits money
to the given address. After that, we simply swap the full balance.
Not only does this simplify the interface by removing a parameter,
but it also integrates the `deposit` command into the `buy-xmr`
command.
Syncing a wallet that is backed by electrum includes transactions
that are part of the mempool when computing the balance.
As such, waiting for a deposit is a very quick action because it
allows us to build our lock transaction on top of the yet to be
confirmed deposit transactions.
This patch introduces another function to the `bitcoin::Wallet` that
relies on the currently statically encoded fee rate. To make sure
future developers don't forget to adjust both, we extract a function
that "selects" a fee rate and return the constant from there.
Fixes#196.
If the monero wallet rpc has not already been downloaded we download the monero cli package and extract the wallet rpc. The unneeded files are cleaned up. The monero wallet rpc is started on a random port which is provided to the swap cli.
We added a fork of tokio-tar via a git subtree because we needed a tokio-tar version that was compatible with tokio 1.0. Remove this subtree in favor of a regular cargo dependency when this PR merges: https://github.com/vorot93/tokio-tar/pull/3.
The bitcoind wallet required the user to run a bitcoind node. It was replaced with a bdk wallet which allows the user to connect to an electrum instance hosted remotely. An electrum and bitcoind testcontainer were created to the test the bdk wallet. The electrum container reads the blockdata from the bitcoind testcontainer through a shared volume. bitcoind-harness was removed as bitcoind initialisation code was moved into test_utils. The bdk wallet differs from the bitcoind wallet in that it needs to be manually synced with an electrum node. We synchronise the wallet once upon initialisation to prevent a potentially long running blocking task from interrupting protocol execution. The electrum HTTP API was used to get the latest block height and the transaction block height as this functionality was not present in the bdk wallet API or it required the bdk wallet to be re-synced to get an up to date value.
