The peer imposes this on us, default is 1% of the total channel capacity.
* *spendable\_msat*: A string describing an ***estimate*** of how much we
can send out over this channel;
can send out over this channel in a single payment (or payment-part for
multi-part payments);
a number followed by a string unit.
This is an ***estimate***, which can be wrong because adding HTLCs requires
an increase in fees paid to onchain miners, and onchain fees change
dynamically according to onchain activity.
For a sufficiently-large channel with capacity on your side, this can
be limited by the rules imposed under certain blockchains;
for example, individual Bitcoin mainnet payment-parts cannot exceed
42.94967295 mBTC.
* *minimum\_htlc\_in\_msat*: A string describing the minimum amount that
an HTLC must have before we accept it.
* *their\_to\_self\_delay*: The number of blocks that the peer must wait
