RecvShutdown consumes the SentShutdown of a previous SendShutdown and waits for the target's `shutdown` on the given channel. It returns that channel's scriptpubkey, or empty bytes if no `shutdown` was received. The target can send `shutdown` at any time and on any channel, so a received one is recorded into its channel's state like `channel_ready`, and explicit receives skip past it instead of failing. SendShutdown records the script we sent, which is what makes a reply expected there, and RecvShutdown reads the reply from channel state, so one recorded before it ran is reported just the same. BOLT 2 lets the target warn about a non-standard scriptpubkey instead of replying, but every implementation except LDK disconnects afterwards and LDK acts as if the `shutdown` never came, so a warning just ends execution like any other unexpected message. A target that has not sent `channel_ready` may ignore our `shutdown`, so RecvShutdown is a no-op until it has. That gives up coverage of targets which do reply before then, in exchange for not spending a receive timeout on every target which doesn't.
A received `shutdown` was recorded against its channel without being judged, so a target naming a channel we never funded, replying on a channel it should have failed, or using a `scriptpubkey` it was not allowed to, went unreported. Add a `ShutdownOracle` beside the other message oracles, evaluated by `handle_implicit` before the `shutdown` is recorded, and report its findings as `InvalidShutdown`. It flags the target if: * the `shutdown` is for a channel we never funded * we sent an invalid signature, so the target should have failed the channel instead of replying * its `scriptpubkey` isn't a standard form for the negotiated features
