Implement Bitcoin Connect

[stackingsaunter]

It would be cool If users could connect their bitcoin lightning wallets and use them directly to trade on boltz!

Bitcoin Connect is an easy to implement web component that allows it through WebLN protocol (as well as NWC.

When implemented could easily connect their Alby, Mutiny, Umbrel, lnbits and some other wallets (and list is growing) to do payments directly from their own wallet (without confirmations or QR codes). And all that without the need to install WebLN browser extension

More about Bitcoin Connect on Github and website.

The LNbits connector does not fully implement WebLN - the initial focus was more on making payments. I'll try to get this implemented tomorrow.

Which webln methods are needed by boltz?

[dni]

basically only those 2 at the moment sending payments and making invoices.

@dni thanks! please update bitcoin connect to 3.5.1 which adds makeInvoice to the LNbits connector.
