Support trampoline routing
See original GitHub issueUnder development, see https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/commits/trampoline
Note that the spec is not ready yet, only Phoenix currently uses it (with an Eclair node).
One issue with the incomplete spec is that trampoline fees have to be guessed; indeed, Eclair does not return a node_update
payload in its error messages, because the Acinq devs have not decided of the format for new gossip messages. Having to guess fees makes it difficult to perform multi-trampoline routing.
I think we should still deploy this now, the user experience is much better than with local routing. In addition, the gossip part of the spec might not make any progress for years if there is no demand for it.
