routing: implement route failure fallback in SendPayment
This commit adds payment route failure fallback to SendPayment. By
this, we mean that we now take all the possible routes found during
path finding and try them in series. Either a route fails and we move
onto the next one, or the route is successful and we terminate early.

With this commit, sending payments using lnd is now much more robust as
if there exists an eligible route with sufficient capacity, it will be
utilized.
