Decay channel liquidity balance offsets
ProbabilisticScorer uses successful and unsuccessful payments to gain
more certainty of a channel's liquidity balance. Decay this knowledge
over time to indicate decreasing certainty about the liquidity balance.

Probabilistic channel scoring
Add a Score implementation based on "Optimally Reliable & Cheap Payment
Flows on the Lightning Network" by Rene Pickhardt and Stefan Richter[1].
Given the uncertainty of channel liquidity balances, probability
distributions are defined based on knowledge learned from successful and
unsuccessful attempts. Then the negative log of the success probability
is used to determine the cost of routing a specific HTLC amount through
a channel.

Effective channel capacity for router and scoring
A channel's capacity may be inferred or learned and is used to make
routing decisions, including as a parameter to channel scoring. Define
an EffectiveCapacity for this purpose. Score::channel_penalty_msat takes
the effective capacity (less in-flight HTLCs for the same payment), and
never None. Thus, for hops given in an invoice, the effective capacity
is now considered (near) infinite if over a private channel or based on
learned information if over a public channel.
If a Score implementations needs the effective capacity when updating a
channel's score, i.e. in payment_path_failed or payment_path_successful,
it can access the channel's EffectiveCapacity via the NetworkGraph by
first looking up the channel and then specifying which direction is
desired using ChannelInfo::as_directed.

Benchmark router using a scorer seeded with data
Scorers may have different performance characteristics after seeing
failed and successful paths. Seed the scorer with some random data
before executing the benchmark in order to exercise such behavior.

Add first_hops to generate_routes benchmarks
Passing first_hops to get_route increases the coverage of the benchmark
test. For scorers needing the sending node, it allows for using a single
scorer in the benchmark rather than re-initializing on each iteration.
As a consequence, the scorer can be seeded with success and failure
data.

Remove duplicate generate_routes benchmark code
Refactor generate_routes and generate_mpp_routes into a single utility

test both single path and multi-path routing. Additionally, it is

Use `Event::PaymentFailed` in `InvoicePayer` to remove retry count

Expose an event when a payment has failed and retries complete
When a payment fails, a payer needs to know when they can consider
a payment as fully-failed, and when only some of the HTLCs in the
payment have failed. This isn't possible with the current event
scheme, as discovered recently and as described in the previous
commit.
This adds a new event which describes when a payment is fully and
irrevocably failed, generating it only after the payment has
expired or been marked as expired with
`ChannelManager::mark_retries_exceeded` *and* all HTLCs for it
have failed. With this, a payer can more simply deduce when a
payment has failed and use that to remove payment state or
finalize a payment failure.

Add a variant to `PendingOutboundPayment` for retries-exceeded
When a payer gives up trying to retry a payment, they don't know
for sure what the current state of the event queue is.
Specifically, they cannot be sure that there are not multiple
additional `PaymentPathFailed` or even `PaymentSuccess` events
pending which they will see later. Thus, they have a very hard
time identifying whether a payment has truly failed (and informing
the UI of that fact) or if it is still pending. See [1] for more
information.
In order to avoid this mess, we will resolve it here by having the
payer give `ChannelManager` a bit more information - when they
have given up on a payment - and using that to generate a
`PaymentFailed` event when all paths have failed.
This commit adds the neccessary storage and changes for the new
state inside `ChannelManager` and a public method to mark a payment
as failed, the next few commits will add the new `Event` and use
the new features in our `PaymentRetrier`.
