Limit inbound fee updates by dust exposure instead of our estimator

Inbound fee udpates are rather broken in lightning as they can
impact the non-fundee despite the funder paying the fee, but only
in the dust exposure it places on the fundee.

At least lnd is fairly aggressively high in their (non-anchor) fee
estimation, running the risk of force-closure. Further, because we
relied on a fee estimator we don't have full control over, we
were assuming our users' fees are particularly conservative, and
thus were at a lot of risk to force-closures.

This converts our fee limiting to use an absurd upper bound,
focusing on whether we are over-exposed to in-flight dust when we
receive an update_fee.
