The /info endpoint is meant to offer information about the server's management of the channels to the operator. It should only be accessible from localhost.

This also fixes the gRPC connection issue #17.

This will enable querying the server for this information without having
to also decode it somewhere else.
This returns information about the managed channels.
Only accesses from localhost (considering reverse-proxied requests) are
allowed.
This fixes the server's Run method to properly attempt reconnections to
the dcrlnd node in case of errors.

Previously, two things were wrong in this method:

- The context used in some calls was ctx instead of gctx, which caused
  some of the subsystems to not exit correctly on failures and thus mask
  the underlying connection error.
- There was no re-attempt at failed operations, when the reason for
  failure was a connection error (as opposed to a graceful termination
  of the server).

This commit fixes both issues by using the correct context everywhere
and ensuring all subsystems re-attempt their functions until the context
is canceled, with an appropriate delay.
