This change moves the `listpays` command from the older `pay` plugin to the newer `xpay` plugin. The practical effect is that when you ask your node to list recent payments, it now checks whether `xpay` is still retrying a payment before marking it as failed. Previously, `listpays` could wrongly report an ongoing payment as failed because it only looked at the old `pay` plugin's state. There is no new attack or remote exploit here; it is a bug-fix/refactor that improves reporting accuracy.

update-mocks: make handling of mocks in nested files deterministic.
update-mocks searches for prototypes, looking first in the local directory, then in */*.h, and takes the first. In the case of plugins/bkpr/test/run-currencyrate_str.c referring to jsonrpc_request_start_, this means it could get either the one in libplugin (correct) or the one in lightningd (wrong!), depending on directory order randomness.
Hack it a bit harder, to look one up from the local dir before */*.h. This is redundant in most cases, but not for three-deep-nested dirs like this.

This commit fixes a build-tool quirk that could pick the wrong function prototype when generating test mock stubs for deeply nested source directories.

This commit adds a new optional 'destination' parameter to the 'injectpaymentonion' JSON-RPC command in Core Lightning.

This commit adds a new command called xkeysend to Core Lightning, which lets users send money to another node without needing an invoice. The code itself is a feature addition, not a bug fix.

This commit updates the Core Lightning `sendpay` RPC command so it can accept route objects produced by the newer `getroutes` command, in addition to the older `getroute` format. It makes several route fields optional and adds aliases (for example, `short_channel_id_dir` as a newer name for `channel`). The change is primarily an API compatibility and feature enhancement. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this fixes a security vulnerability, but loosening input validation and making previously required fields optional can sometimes hide or introduce edge-case bugs, so it warrants a conservative defensive review.

xpay: take over pay invocations by default.
The main change here is the error messages got better. Where that was the case, and the test was not completely redundant with existing xpay tests, I explicitly converted to calls to xpay (meaning the tests will be kept when `pay` is finally removed).
Test changes: 1. deschash checking is old-pay only, keep that there. 2. Add debug logs for checks for using forwarding via scid in injectpaymentonion. 3. Don't assert that not all sendpays should have the invoice string: xpay does not try to be clever there. 4. We no longer check if invoices are already paid before routing, since injectpaymentonion will catch that for us. 5. Removed `test_pay_get_error_with_update` which has xpay equiv.
Changelog-Changed: JSON-RPC: `xpay` now handles `pay` command by default (use `xpay-handle-pay=false` to prevent this) Changelog-Removed: JSON-RPC: `exclude` parameter to `pay` (when `xpay-handle-pay` is True): craft a layer with desired modifications and pass it to `xpay` `layers`.

This commit changes Core Lightning so that the newer 'xpay' plugin silently handles most calls to the older 'pay' command by default. It is a feature migration, not a security patch.

This change fixes a small compatibility gap in the xpay plugin, which can take over the older `pay` command. Previously, if a user supplied a `label` or `localinvreqid` argument to `pay`, xpay would silently drop those arguments before forwarding the payment. Now it preserves and forwards them.

This is a tiny bug fix in the Core Lightning 'xpay' plugin.

This is a small bug-fix in Core Lightning's experimental 'xpay' payment plugin. When a payment used a privacy feature called a 'blinded path' (a dummy route that hides the real final recipient), the plugin could misidentify which node reported a payment failure. The actual payment behavior was unchanged, but the internal reasoning used to decide what to do next was misleading. There is no direct security exploit here; it is a correctness fix that prevents a wrong diagnostic from potentially causing a poor routing decision later.

This is a routine internal change to which payment plugin Core Lightning uses when automatically paying invoices created via the experimental 'invoicerequest' flow. It switches from the older 'pay' plugin to the newer 'xpay' plugin and updates the corresponding test expectation. There is no security issue visible in the commit.

pay: accept invstring as first parameter name.
If you don't use complex pay options, you can use `invstring` now and when xpay becomes pay, there's no transition.
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Changelog-Changed: JSON-RPC: `pay` now accepts `invstring` as a parameter name for `bolt11`, to ease transition when xpay takes over in v27.03.

This is a routine feature change, not a security fix. The `pay` command now accepts either `bolt11` or `invstring` as the name for its invoice-string parameter, so users don't have to change their scripts when a future version renames the command. No vulnerability is present.
