Description: `
Attempt to open a new channel to an existing peer with the key node-key
optionally blocking until the channel is 'open'.
One can also connect to a node before opening a new channel to it by
setting its host:port via the --connect argument. For this to work,
the node_key must be provided, rather than the peer_id. This is optional.
The channel will be initialized with local-amt satoshis local and push-amt
satoshis for the remote node. Once the channel is open, a channelPoint (txid:vout)
of the funding output is returned.
