htlcswitch: add new method to the ChannelLink interface, EligibleToForward
In this commit, we add a new method to the ChanneLink interface:
EligibleToForward. This method allows a link to be added to the switch,
but in an intermediate state which indicates that it isn’t yet ready to
forward any incoming HTLC’s.
