Lower-bound the log approximation and stop using it > ~98.5%
When we start getting a numerator and divisor particularly close to

range upwards of 2x the default per-hop penalty), simply consider
such cases as having a success probability of 100%.

Expand the precision of our log10 lookup tables + add precision
When we send values over channels of rather substantial size, the
imprecision of our log lookup tables creates a rather substantial
non-linearity between values that round up or down one bit.
For example, with the default scoring values, sending 100k sats
over channels with 1m, 2m, 3m, and 4m sats of capacity score
rather drastically differently: 3645, 2512, 500, and 1442 msat.
Here we expand the precision of our log lookup tables rather
substantially by: (a) making the multiplier 2048 instead of 1024,
which still fits inside a u16, and (b) quadrupling the size of the
lookup table to look at the top 6 bits after the most-significant
bit of an input instead of the top 4.
This makes the scores of the same channels substantially more
linear, with values of 3613, 1977, 1474, and 1223 msat.
The same channels would be scored at 3611, 1972, 1464, and 1216
msat with a non-approximating scorer.

Move lightning-invoice deser errors to lib.rs instead of `pub use`
Having public types in a private module is somewhat awkward from a
readability standpoint, but, more importantly, the bindings logic
has a relatively rough go of converting them - it doesn't implement
`pub use` as its "implement this function" logic is all within the
context of a module. We'd need to keep a set of re-exported things
to implement them when parsing modules...or we could just move two
enums from `de.rs` to `lib.rs` here, which is substantially less

Avoid retrying over recently failed channels
In ProbabilisticScorer, the channel liquidity balance is reduced
whenever a payment fails at the corresponding channel. The payment may
still be retried through the channel, however, because the liquidity
penalty is capped. Use u64::max_value instead in this situation to avoid
retrying over the same path. This effectively makes u64::max_value the
penalty for amounts exceeding the upper bound, as well.
As an edge case, avoid using u64::max_value on attempts where the amount
is equal to the effective capacity, which may be the HTLC maximum when
the channel capacity is unknown.

Avoid needless MPP on multiple channels to the same first-hop
When we have many channels to the same first-hop, many of which do

Instead, we should seek to use the smallest channel which can
easily handle the requested payment, which we do here by sorting
the first_hops in our router before beginning the graph search.
Note that the "real" fix for this should be to instead decide which
channel to use at HTLC-send time, as most other nodes do during
relay, but this provides a minimal fix without needing to do the
rather-large work of refactoring our HTLC send+relay pipelines.
