We stop sending update_fee and set the feerate to 1 sat/byte for channels with mobile wallet users. This removes edge cases around update_fee handling in tricky cases (splicing, shutdown, etc) while still allowing channels to force-close thanks to package relay.

Note that mobile wallets that don't have an on-chain wallet to use CPFP on the commit transaction may not be able to get their commit tx confirmed, but that was already the case before that change since the LSP decides the commit feerate. This will get better with v3 txs and https://delvingbitcoin.org/t/zero-fee-commitments-for-mobile-wallets/1453
