lnwallet: increase legacy fee limit threshold to 1k sats
In this commit, we increase the legacy fee limit threshold (the amount
below which we'll allow 100% of funds to go to fees for the non-v2 RPC
calls) from 50 sats to 1k sats.

# Release Notes
## Remote signing
The [remote signing](../remote-signing.md) setup was simplified in that the
signing node now [does not need to be hooked up to its own chain
backend](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6006). A new mock chain
backend can be specified with `--bitcoin.node=nochainbackend`. That way a wallet
will be created and all signing RPCs work but the node will not look at any
chain data. It can therefore be fully offline except for a single incoming gRPC
connection from the watch-only node.
## Wallet
* A bug that prevented opening anchor-based channels from external wallets when
the internal wallet was empty even though the transaction contained a
sufficiently large output belonging to the internal wallet
[was fixed](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/5539).
In other words, freshly-installed LND can now be initialized with multiple
channels from an external (e.g. hardware) wallet *in a single transaction*.
* A bug that allowed fees to be up to 100% of the payment amount was fixed by
[introducing a more sane default
value](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6226) of 5% routing fees
(except for small amounts <= [1k
satoshis](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6234) where the 100%
routing fees are kept to accommodate for the base fee in channels). To avoid
falling back to a default value, users should always set their own fee limits
by using the `--fee_limit` or `--fee_limit_percent` flags on the `lncli
payinvoice`, `lncli sendpayment` and `lncli queryroutes` commands. Users of
the gRPC or REST API should set the `fee_limit` field on the corresponding
calls (`SendPayment`, `SendPaymentSync`, `QueryRoutes`).
## Database
* [Speed up graph cache loading on startup with
Postgres](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6111)
## Build System
* [Clean up Makefile by using go
install](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6035).
* [Make etcd max message size
configurable](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6049).
* [Export bitcoind port and other values for itests, useful for
using itest harness outside of
lnd](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6050).
* [Export `lntest` base node config so it can be re-used in LiT integration
tests](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6139).
## Bug fixes
* [A new resolver for breach closes was introduced that handles sweeping
anchor outputs and failing back HTLCs.](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6158)
* [Return the nearest known fee rate when a given conf target cannot be found
from Web API fee estimator.](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6062)
* [We now _always_ set a channel type if the other party signals the feature
bit](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6075).
* [Add `--json` flag to
`trackpayment`](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6060).
* [Clarify invalid config timeout
constraints](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6073).
* [Fix memory corruption in Mission Control
Store](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6068)
* [Ensure that the min relay fee is always clamped by our fee
floor](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6076)
* [Clarify log message about not running within
systemd](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6096)
* [Fix Postgres context cancellation](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6108)
* A conflict was found in connecting peers, where the peer bootstrapping
process and persistent connection could compete connection for a peer that
led to an already made connection being lost. [This is now fixed so that
bootstrapping will always ignore the peers chosen by the persistent
connection.](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6082)
* [Fix Postgres itests max connections](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6116)
* [Fix duplicate db connection close](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6140)
* [Fix a memory leak introduced by the new ping-header p2p enhancement](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6144)
* [Fix an issue that would prevent very old nodes from starting up due to lack of a historical channel bucket](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6159)
* [Fixes a bug that would cause incorrect rounding when translating a decimal fee rate to ppm](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6200)
## RPC Server
* [ChanStatusFlags is now
exposed](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/5971) inside
WaitingCloseResp from calling `PendingChannels`.
* [Fix missing label on streamed
transactions](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/5854).
* [The `fee_rate_ppm` parameter/argument was added to
update channel policy](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/5711)
to prevent truncation error with tiny fee rates.
* [Closing txid is now
exposed](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6146) inside
WaitingCloseResp from calling `PendingChannels`.
* [CustomCaveatCondition is now properly
set](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6185) on
`RPCMiddlewareRequest` messages.
* [Adds a new FeeRatePpm to the UpdateChanPolicy call to allow fee rate expression in the native protocol unit](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6200)
## Routing
* [Enable forced update of MC pair
history](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6180) by adding the `force`
flag to the `XImportMissionControl` RPC call.
## Documentation
* [General improvements to the mobile documentation](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6181).
