I want to archive the plugin for several reasons, in no particular order: - tests are failing for all current CLN versions right now - there is an alternative with passing tests in here called `trustedcoin` that does something similar - it was a WIP according to the README but there is no progress but my own PR [lightningd#775](lightningd#775) trying to fix things - i don't feel comfortable merging this without review and there hasn't been any review in 4 months

In an effort to get the tests passing again i had to either mock the esplora responses or make the plugin and test framework respect esplora's rate limit.
I decided to do the latter and add a global file based cache to reduce requests for the same URL in the cache's TTL.
The global fetch lock is needed for the race condition of same URL requests that happen often during multiple CLN node startups.
Please let me know what you think.
