Error after updating to Bitcoin 0.21.0 #4352

In BTCPay Server we updated to Bitcoin 0.21.0 for our docker install.

It seems that 0.21.0 does not work properly with c-lightning.

The error is:

021-01-26T08:11:45.244Z DEBUG gossipd: seeker: state = STARTING_UP New seeker
bcli:
Could not connect to bitcoind using bitcoin-cli. Is bitcoind running?

Make sure you have bitcoind running and that bitcoin-cli is able to connect to bitcoind.

You can verify that your Bitcoin Core installation is ready for use by running:

    $ bitcoin-cli -regtest -datadir=/etc/bitcoin -rpcconnect=bitcoind echo 'hello world'

2021-01-26T08:11:45.251Z INFO plugin-bcli: Killing plugin: Plugin exited before completing handshake.
The Bitcoin backend died.

Running the same command line returns a success.

I tried with 0.9.0, I am trying to update to 0.9.3 to see if it still happen.
