Support async payments in BOLT 12. 
This builds on prior commits by adding the ability to fetch an invoice from an
always-online node on behalf of an often-offline recipient, e.g. a mobile node.

The idea is that often-offline recipients will supply some always-online node
such as their wallet vendor with a static (i.e. `payment_hash`-less) invoice to
return on its behalf. The recipient will then publish an offer containing
blinded paths that terminate at this always-online node, who payers can request
the invoice from if the recipient is offline at the time. After receiving the
static invoice, payers will commence the protocol outlined in [1] to send the
HTLC asynchronously.
