channeld: give some tolerance for empty commitments.

The spec says not to send a commitment_signed without any changes, but LND
does this.  To understand why, you have to understand how LND works.  I
haven't read the code, but I'm pretty sure it works like this:

1. lnd slows down to do garbage collection, because it's in Go.
2. When an alert timer goes off, noticing it's not making process, it
   sends a twitter message to @roasbeef.
3. @roasbeef sshs into the user's machine and binary patches lnd to send
   a commitment_signed message.
4. Unfortunately he works so fast that various laws of causality are broken,
   meaning sometimes the commitment_signed is sent before any of thes
   other things happen.

I'm fairly sure that this will stop as @roasbeef ages, or lnd introduces
some kind of causality enforcement fix.
