routing: modify applyChannelUpdate to not error out if update is stale

In this commit we fix a slight bug within the existing SendPayment loop
which would cause the wrong error to be returned to users. Prior to
this commit, if we received an update identical to what we were already
aware of, then that error would be returned rather than the
ForwardingError that encapsulated this update.

In this commit with remedy this by properly returning the exact error.

Partially fixes #391.
