Unnecessary force closes.

A failed routed payment should not be able to cause forced closures. The lightning payment protocol needs to be revamped so a payment can be reserved througout the route, but the payment can be canceled by any node in the chain to avoid closures, up until the transaction is completed.

Whoever is the cause of a channel closure should pay the close fee for every channel they cause to close.
