s/send a warning/warn the user/ in BOLT 5 to avoid confusion (#951)

Browse Source 
Prior to the addition of `warning` messages, BOLT 5 specified a
few cases where users should be warned that funds may have been
lost. However, it used the phrasing "send a warning" which can now
be confused  with `warning` messages. Nodes should not generally
inform their counterparty that they have been robbed.
