Christian Decker c2764c10c5 broadcast: Implement replacing messages in the broadcast queue
If type and tag match, then we replace any existing message in the
queue. This allows us to drop old announcements. Special care needs to
be taken so that dependent messages are not reordered, but for gossip
this is the case, since the `channel_announcement` cannot be updated.
