This is experimental for now, but can eventually deprecated
'decodepay' and even decode other kinds of messages.

In a couple of places we accept arrays of strings and don't validate
them. If we forward them, e.g., call a JSON-RPC method from the
plugin, we end up embedding the unverified string in the JSON-RPC
call without escaping, which then leads to invalid JSON being passed
on.
This at least partially causes #4238
This patch adds a channel_id parameter to allow for specifying
channels that are lacking a short_channel_id.
Useful in the case where a peer has 1) multiple channels (ONCHAIN etc)
and 2) a channel where the funding transaction hasn't been
broadcast/mined.
Node ids are pubkeys, but we only use them as pubkeys for routing and checking
gossip messages. So we're packing and unpacking them constantly, and wasting
some space and time.
This introduces a new type, explicitly the SEC1 compressed encoding
(33 bytes). We ensure its validity when we load from the db, or get it
from JSON. We still use 'struct pubkey' for peer messages, which checks
validity.

We need to still accept it when parsing the database, but this flag
should allow upgrade testing for devs building on top
