litecoin support

[teletan]

Thinking of adding litecoin support do you want a PR or should I just fork? (Fork is easier for me since I can drop btc support.)

Sure, feel free to fork and improve! Should be very easy to do, but please reach out if you have any questions.

I will have a look at your modifications later and then we can maybe work together to merge the efforts. But at the moment I agree that it would be cleaner to focus on one coin.

I'm cheating in a very ugly way for now. I basically wrote two stub shell scripts and put them in my path:

bitcoin-cli
::::::::::::::
#!/bin/bash

~/litecoin-0.16.3/bin/litecoin-cli $@
::::::::::::::
lncli
::::::::::::::
#!/bin/bash

~/gocode/bin/lncli --network mainnet --chain litecoin $@

Only catch is that many people are using ltcd and btcd.
