C-lightning deprecations

[darosior]

Hi,

For your interest ElementsProject/lightning#3603 removes some fields in the API which have been deprecated for several (6 iirc) months.

Namely:

• The description field in sendpay.
• The satoshi field in fundchannel_start (now amount). Note also this commit ElementsProject/lightning@49e2153 .
• No more localfeatures and globalfeatures fields in listnodes, listpeers, peer_connected.
• No more force bool in close.

Since now RTL relies on your wrapper, just wanted you to know ! 😃

@darosior thanks for letting me know.

Note: you should always test with "enable-deprecated-apis=false" (but ship without that!) so you'll find things when we deprecate it, not 6 months later when we remove it!

Please note the deprecations above. These fields will be removed from c-lightning v0.8.2.
Please plan to remove these fields from your respective UIs if you are using them.

@saubyk thanks for the heads up 👍
