Fix future unknown `Event` variant backwards compatibility

In 8ffc2d1742ff1171a87b0410b21cbbd557ff8247, in 0.0.100, we added
a backwards compatibility feature to the reading of `Event`s - if
the type was unknown and odd, we'd simply ignore the event and
treat it as no event. However, we failed to read the
length-prefixed TLV stream when doing so, resulting in us reading
some of the skipped-event data as the next event or other data in
the ChannelManager.

We fix this by reading the varint length prefix written, then
skipping that many bytes when we come across an unknown odd event
type.
