Update AddHoldInvoice to add support for optional preimage/hash generation

[saubyk]

Fixes #7220

Change Description

Update AddHoldInvoice to add support for optional preimage/hash generation. Following scenarios are handled:

• User provides only a preimage, for which the hash will be automatically generated
• User provides only a hash. This is the original behavior
• User provides neither a preimage or hash, both of which will then be automatically generated
• User provides both preimage and hash, which will result in an error condition

Steps to Test

• Run make unit pkg=./lnrpc/invoicesrpc/... to verify compilation and existing unit tests
• Run make itest icase=hold_invoice_auto_generate to test the new integration test covering all 4 modes:
  • Auto-generate (no hash, no preimage) — creates invoice, pays, settles with returned preimage
  • User preimage — server derives hash, verifies round-trip
  • Hash only — backward compat, preimage not returned
  • Both hash and preimage — returns error
• Run make itest icase=hold_invoice_sender_persistence to verify existing hold invoice flow is unaffected
• Manual lncli verification:
  • lncli addholdinvoice 10000 (legacy positional arg still works)
  • lncli addholdinvoice --hash= 10000 (new flag)
  • lncli addholdinvoice --preimage= 10000 (server derives hash)
  • lncli addholdinvoice 10000 (auto-generate)

Summary of Changes

Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request enhances the AddHoldInvoice functionality by introducing more flexible preimage and hash management. It allows users to either provide a preimage for the server to derive a hash from, or opt for the server to auto-generate both a preimage and hash. The changes include updates to the RPC interface, command-line tool, and server-side logic, ensuring backward compatibility while providing robust error handling for invalid configurations.

Highlights

• AddHoldInvoice Enhancements: Updated AddHoldInvoice to support optional preimage/hash generation, allowing the server to auto-generate a preimage or derive a hash from a user-supplied preimage.
• RPC Interface Updates: Modified the AddHoldInvoiceRequest and AddHoldInvoiceResp protobuf definitions to include new fields for preimage and hash handling.
• New Integration Tests: Added a new integration test suite, testHoldInvoiceAutoGenerate, to verify the new functionality across various modes including auto-generation, user-supplied preimage, and legacy hash-only flows.

Code Review

This pull request enhances the AddHoldInvoice RPC and CLI command to support optional hash and preimage parameters. Users can now provide a preimage directly (from which the server derives the hash), provide a hash as before, or provide neither to have the server auto-generate both. The changes include updates to the protobuf definitions, CLI flag handling, server-side logic, and a comprehensive integration test suite. I have no feedback to provide.
