v1.9.0 Hugh Daniel

In this release we improve the Alby Go integration with Alby Hub. Alby Go is the easiest lightning wallet for using your hub on the go!

We also now show pending and failed transactions in the Alby Hub transaction list which helps to avoid making accidental duplicate payments.

We also now save static channel backups to the Alby Hub data directory for users who do not connect their Alby Account (which has automatic encrypted channel backups).

We also have many bugfixes in this release such as fixing the wallet balance on LND to take account of channel reserves, fixing the inability to pay to some lightning addresses, fixing user configuration being overwritten by environment variable on Start9/Umbrel, and many more.
