Adds liquidity hints for the sending capabilities of routing channels in the
graph. The channel blacklist is incorporated into liquidity hints.
Liquidity hints are updated when a payment fails with a temporary
channel failure or when it succeeds. Liquidity hints are used to give a
penalty in the _edge_cost heuristics used by the pathfinding algorithm.
The base penalty in (_edge_cost) is removed because it is now part of the
liquidity penalty. We don't return early from get_distances, as we want
to explore all channels.

We pass the private edges to lnrouter, and let it find routes end-to-end.
Previously the edge_cost heuristics didn't apply to the private edges
and we were just randomly picking one of the route hints and use that.
So e.g. cheaper private edges were not preferred, but they are now.
PathEdge now stores both start_node and end_node; not just end_node.
Old estimate was heavily biased towards simply minimising CLTV sum.
(fees had a too low weight; typically they were ~noise)
Now also take payment_amount into account.
The few other cases that used SimpleConfig.get_instance() now
either get passed a config instance, or they try to get a reference
to something else that has a reference to a config.
