Node ids are pubkeys, but we only use them as pubkeys for routing and checking
gossip messages. So we're packing and unpacking them constantly, and wasting
some space and time.
This introduces a new type, explicitly the SEC1 compressed encoding
(33 bytes). We ensure its validity when we load from the db, or get it
from JSON. We still use 'struct pubkey' for peer messages, which checks
validity.

The current param_sat accepts "any": rename and move that to invoice.c
where it's called. We rename it to param_msat_or_any and invoice.c
is our first (trivial) amount_msat user.

I wrote this sync first, then rewrote async, then developed libplugin.
But committing all that just wastes reviewer time, so I present it as
if it was always asnc and using the library helper.
Currently the command it registers is 'pay2', but when it's complete
we'll remove the internal 'pay' and rename it. This does a single
'getroute/sendpay' call. No retries, no options.
Shockingly, this by itself is almost sufficient to pass our current test
suite with `pay`->`pay2`.
