We were applying the fee exemption to all payments individually, which is ok
until we switch to MPP, where amounts change. Also the log entry was referring
to the total amount, and not the fee of the payment.
This was causing the state flapping test to fail, since we were yielding
control of the io_loop, waiting for the blockheight to be reached, and not
setting the status beforehand. An interim `paystatus` call would then find a
failed leaf and deduce the entire payment failed. Setting it back to the
previous state keeps the overall payment pending while we wait.
As suggested during the paymod-03 review it is better to activate the new code
right away, and give users an escape hatch to use the legacy code instead. The
way I implemented it allows using either `legacypay` or `pay` and then set
`legacy` to switch to the other implementation.
Changelog-Added: JSON-RPC: The `pay` command now uses the new payment flow, the new `legacypay` command can be used to issue payment with the legacy code if required.

It turns out that the `failcodename` doesn't get populated if the `failcode`
isn't a known error from the enum (duh...) so don't fail parsing if it's
missing.
We want to differentiate a wrong block-height from other failure reasons, such
as an unknown `payment_hash`, so we skip the `waitblockheight` if we're
already at the correct height.
Add/remove the HTLC amount from the channel hints so concurrent getroute calls
have the correct exclusions. This can sometimes underflow, if we're unlucky
and call getroute too closely, but that's not a big issue, it can only result
in a failed MPP attempt too many, nothing fatal, and it'll get corrected based
on the result returned by the failing node.
These are primarily the fee and cltv constraints that we need to keep up to
date in order to give modifiers a correct view of what is and what isn't
allowed.
We could end up with multiple channel hints, which is a bit wasteful. We now
look for existing ones before adding a new one, and if one exists we use the
more restrictive parameters.

We're lucky that we can distinguish the severity of the failure based on the
failcode, so we bubble up the one with the maximum failcode, and let callers
inspect details if they need more information.
We can have quite detailed information about our local channels, so call
`listpeers` before the `getroute` call on the root payment, to seed that
information in the channel_hints.
We were just handwaving the partid generation, which broke some tests that
expected the first payment attempt to always have partid=0, so here we just
track the partids assigned in the payment tree, starting at 0.
The status of what started as a simple JSON-RPC call is now spread across an
entire tree of partial payments and payment attempts. So we collect the status
in a single struct in order to report back success of failure.
