Correct final_cltv handling in blinded paths

Browse Source 
When paying a blinded path, we don't have a CLTV delta at each hop
available, but rather only a total CLTV delta for the entire
blinded path.

However, the onion format currently still requires that we specify
an `outgoing_cltv_value` for the final hop. As the sender, we don't
have a sensible value to put there, as we don't know which part of
the total CLTV delta belongs to the recipient.

The sender is instructed to use the values that are known to them
when setting `outgoing_cltv_value` for the final hop:
- The current block height.
- Any additional delta added to account for block propagation and
  improve privacy.

This change reflects the behavior of some implementations at the time
of writing.
