routing: use probability source in path finding
This PR replaces the previously used edge and node ignore lists in path
finding by a probability based system. It modifies path finding so that
it not only compares routes on fee and time lock, but also takes route
success probability into account.

Allowing routes to be compared based on success probability is achieved
by introducing a 'virtual' cost of a payment attempt and using that to
translate probability into another cost factor.

lnrpc+routing: fix issues with missing data in unmarshallRoute
In this commit the dependency of unmarshallRoute on edge policies being
available is removed. Edge policies may be unknown and reported as nil.
SendToRoute does not need the policies, but it does need pubkeys of the
route hops. In this commit, unmarshallRoute is modified so that it
takes the pubkeys from edgeInfo instead of channelEdgePolicy.

In addition to this, the route structure is simplified. No more connection
to the database at that point. Fees are determined based on incoming and
outgoing amounts.

routing: weight findPath more heavily towards fees during edge relaxation
In this commit, we modify the edgeWeight function that’s used within
the findPath method to weight fees more heavily than the time lock
value at an edge. We do this in order to greedily prefer lower fees
during path finding. This is a simple stop gap in place of more complex
weighting parameters that will be investigated later.

We also modify the edge distance to use an int64 rather than a float.
Finally an additional test has been added in order to excessive this
new change. Before the commit, the test was failing as we preferred the
route with lower total time lock.

routing: introduce new heap for storing candidate shortest paths
This commit adds a new heap structure to heap.go which will be used for
storing candidate paths during the iterations of the k-shortest paths
algorithm.

routing: introduce a heap to keep track of closest nodes during pathfinding
This commit introduces a new heap struct that will be used to keep
track of the next closest node to the source during path finding within
our modified Dijkstra's algorithm.
