Description
Is it possible that the server-side parts of electrum's watchtower protocol could be added to electrumx? Here's my particular setup:
- Home linux server running 24/7 with electrumx
- Home windows desktop running whenever with electrum-qt and the full wallet, connecting to the server
It would be nice to not have to run a second program on my server to get watchtower support.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points in electrumx. Start by reading the Electrum watchtower protocol and mapping its server-side requirements onto electrumx; done would mean watchtower support works through the existing electrum-qt setup without a second server program.
