Adds a new RPC to query the reserves on a given channel.
It is necessary to know the total amount in-flight on a channel to be
able to estimate the channel's liquidity after a failed routing attempt.
For example if a routing request for 1000sat fails in channel "1x1x1:0" and there are no other in-flight
HTLCs in that channel that we know of, we can assume that channel's liquidity is a number below 1000sat.
However, in a similar situation when a routing request for 1000sat fails in channel "1x1x1:0" but we know that
there are two pending HTLCs: one for 1000sat and another for 4500sat, then we may assume that the
channel's liquidity is some number below 1000sat+4500sat=5500sat.
In order to effectively make use of
askrene-inform-channel
in those situations we need to know the totalvalue of the reserves combined.
