config: add new command line option to disable chan update all together

Browse Source 
In this commit, we add a new command line option to allow (ideally
routing nodes) to disable receiving up-to-date channel updates all
together. This may be desired as it'll allow routing nodes to save on
bandwidth as they don't need the channel updates to passively forward
HTLCs. In the scenario that they _do_ want to update their routing
policies, the first failed HTLC due to policy inconsistency will then
allow the routing node to propagate the new update to potential nodes
trying to route through it.
