reserved for `OpenChannel` by using non-volatile leases instead of volatile

* [Fixed](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7805) a case where `lnd`
might propose a low fee rate for the channel (when initiator) due to the
mempool not having enough data yet or the channel might be drained locally
which with the default fee allocation in place will eventually lead to the
downsizing to the fee floor (1 sat/vbyte) in the worst case.

added so users can specify the max allowed fee rate when sweeping on-chain

estimator used(for instance `bitcoind`), and this value is a cap on the max
