Bug Fixes

• Fix the removal of failed channels. When a pending channel opening was pruned from memory no more channels were able to be created nor accepted. This PR fixes this issue and enhances the test suite for this behavior.

• Fix deadlock possibility in FilterKnownChanIDs by ensuring the cacheMu mutex is acquired before the main database lock.

• Prevent ping failures from deadlocking the peer connection.

• Fix an issue that caused memory leak for users running lnd with bitcoind.rpcpolling=1 mode.

• Fix an issue for pruned nodes where the chain sync got lost because fetching of already pruned blocks from our peers was not garbage collected when the request failed.

• Let the REST proxy skip TLS verification when connecting to the gRPC server to prevent invalid cert use when the ephemeral cert (used with the --tlsencryptkey flag) expires.
