Check for preimage before failing back missing HTLCs 
When an outstanding HTLC is missing from a confirmed commitment, the
current recommendation is to fail it back immediately (or after a
reorg-safety delay).  But if a preimage is available for the HTLC,
failing it back is at best going to cause an error (if the HTLC has
already been fulfilled upstream) and at worst going to cause loss of
funds (if the HTLC has *not* already been fulfilled upstream).

Instead, the spec should clearly indicate that upstream HTLCs should be
fulfilled when possible and only failed back if a preimage is not
available.
