Interface Data fields for Wire files

[zbruhnke]

Wire Version: Release v0.9.0-rc1

What were you trying to do?

Process a wire file with Interface data at the beginning

What did you expect to see?

A successful processing of the wire file

What did you see?

{"error":"error reading file: line:1 record:SenderSupplied *wire.FieldError UserRequestCorrelation  is a required field"}

How can we reproduce the problem?

Use this to create a new wire file

## Create Wire File From FAIM
# Creates a Wire File with the Moov Wire API
curl -X "POST" "https://MOOV_WIRE_URL/files/create" \
     -H 'Content-Type: text/plain' \
     -d "FTI0811 XFT811  {1500}30        T {1510}1000{1520}20220128DOVTAL3C000001{2000}000000010000{3100}123456789DOVETAIL BANK US F*{3320}XX22012800000051*{3400}021000089CITIBANK NYC*{3600}CTP{3620}3*3AC4C307-0FFB-4028-BD8E-53D55BDB90E1*{3700}SUSD0,*{4200}D000100002*{5000}T000100011*DRESDEFFXXX*"

I think the best solution is to just strip out any characters before the first { because the Interface data is not useful for anything in 99.99% of use cases and this would also solve for other errors that sprung up for strange characters that ODFIs somehow magically add to wire files

What is this Interface data? Is it metadata from the vendor's code? This issue sounds similar to https://github.com/moov-io/ach/issues/1037 and could be solved similarly in each project.

I sent @atonks2 the official documentation that includes it so he has the FAIM docs

but here's a screenshot https://go.hmb.la/kQg7dc

@zbruhnke I think the issue fixed in https://github.com/moov-io/wire/pull/244 would you check again
