We currently construct
DirectedChannelInfo
s for routing beforechecking if the given direction has its directional info filled in.
We then always check for directional info before actually deciding
to route over a channel, as otherwise we assume the channel is not
online.
This makes for somewhat redundant checks, and
DirectedCHannelInfo
isn't, by itself, a very useful API. Because fetching the HTLC-max
or effective channel capacity gives spurious data if no directional
info is available, there's little reason to have that data
available, and so we here check for directional info first. This
effectively merges
DirectionalChannelInfo
andDirectionalChannelInfoWithUpdate
