this version now uses RBF to enable either side to increase their fee rate using
106+
their _own_ channel funds. This removes the old "negotiation" logic that could
107+

108+

This new feature can be activated with a new config flag:
111+

commands with increasing fee rates to use RBF to bump an existing signed co-op
115+
close transaction.
