Otherwise what the hook sees is actually a lie, and if it sets it we might override it.
The side effect is that we add an explicit "forward_to" field, and allow hooks to override it. This lets a hook control channel choice explicitly.
Changelod-Added: Plugins:
htlc_accepted_hook
return can specify what channel to forward htlc to.(Interestingly, this fell out of the blinded payments work, where we can be given the peer, rather than the channel, to forward to).
