glossary: move definition of chain_hash to BOLT #0
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This commit modifies the glossary to add a new entry which defines the
usage of `chain_hash` throughout the remainder of the documents.
Additionally, we now also specify which chain hash we expect for
Bitcoin within the glossary.

This commit also modifies BOLT #2 and #7 to omit the definition of the
expected `chain_hash` value for Bitcoin.

* `chain_hash`:
* Used in several of the BOLT documents, and denotes the genesis hash of a
target blockchain. This allows nodes to create and reference channels on
several blockchains. Nodes are to ignore any messages which reference a
`chain_hash` that are unknown to them.

For the Bitcoin blockchain, the `chain_hash` value MUST be (encoded in
hex): `000000000019d6689c085ae165831e934ff763ae46a2a6c172b3f1b60a8ce26f`.
