Christian Decker bd811fbd1a pyln: Add safe fallback results for hooks

Hooks do not tolerate failures at all. If we return a JSON-RPC error to a hook
call the only thing the main daemon can really do is to crash. This commit
adds a mapping of error to a safe fallback result, including a warning to the
node operator that this should be addressed in the plugin. The warning is
reported as a `**BROKEN**` message, and should therefore fail any testing done
on the plugin.

Changelog-Fixed: pyln: Fixed HTLCs hanging indefinitely if the hook function raises an exception. A safe fallback result is now returned instead.
