routing: add strict pruning as new flag, default for neutrino

In this commit we add a new flag that controls if lnd will do strict
zombie pruning or not. If true, then this will cause lnd to maintain a
tighter graph as it wants both edges to always be live. We enable this by
default for neutrino as without this, it's possible that a node never
sees both edges begin disabled, so those edges are never actually pruned
from the graph.
