Allow get_per_commitment_point to fail.

This changes `ChannelSigner::get_per_commitment_point` to return a
`Result<PublicKey, ()`, which means that it can fail. In order to accomodate
failure at the callsites that otherwise assumed it was infallible, we cache
the next per-commitment point each time the state advances in the
`ChannelContext` and change the callsites to instead use the cached value.
