Rusty Russell c71e16f784 broadcast: invert ownership of messages.
Make the update/announce messages own the element in the broadcast map
not the other way around.

Then we keep a pointer to the message, and when we free it
(eg. channel closed, update replaces it), it gets freed from the
broadcast map automatically.

The result is much nicer!
