routing: use unified policy for path finding
In this commit we change path finding to no longer consider all channels
between a pair of nodes individually. We assume that nodes forward
non-strict and when we attempt a connection between two nodes, we don't
want to try multiple channels because their policies may not be identical.
Having distinct policies for channel to the same peer is against the
recommendation in the spec, but it happens in the wild. Especially since
we recently changed the default cltv delta value.

What this commit introduces is a unified policy. This can be looked upon
as the greatest common denominator of all policies and should maximize
the probability of getting the payment forwarded.
