LND v0.18.5-beta: Bug Fixes & Improvements

• This minor release includes important bug fixes for AMP invoices, a critical bug fix related to erroneous invoice state transitions, fee bump transactions, performance improvements for Postgres backends, and UX improvements for custom channels.

What's new

• Fixed a bug where we would not cancel accepted HTLCs on AMP invoices if the whole invoice was canceled.
• Improved user experience by returning a custom error code when HTLC carries incorrect custom records.
• lncli:updatechanpolicy will now update the channel policy if the edge was not found in the graph database if the create_missing_edge flag is set.
• Remove global application level lock for Postgres so multiple DB transactions can run at once, increasing efficiency. Includes several bugfixes to allow this to work properly.
• Golang was updated to v1.22.11.
• Improved user experience by returning a custom error code when HTLC carries incorrect custom records.
• Make input validation stricter when using the BumpFee, BumpCloseFee(deprecated) and BumpForceCloseFee RPCs. For the BumpFee RPC the new param deadline_delta is introduced. For the BumpForceCloseFee RPC the param conf_target was added. The conf_target changed in its meaning for all the RPCs which had it before. Now it is used for estimating the starting fee rate instead of being treated as the deadline, and it cannot be set together with StartingFeeRate. Moreover if the user now specifies the deadline_delta param, the budget value has to be set as well.
