Avoid panics in public methods if possible

[sr-gi]

Some public methods can lead to panics if called under certain conditions. While some of this may be permanent errors that the app cannot recover from, therefore panic-ing, some others may be handleable best with an Error, making it easier to catch both for Rust and foreign languages.

Here's a list of the ones I've found so far so (as of v0.0.12) we can discuss which one fall into which group.

• KeysInterface
  • counterparty_pubkeys
  • counterparty_selected_contest_delay
  • holder_selected_contest_delay

All this panic due to calling unwrap on None for non-accepted channels.

ChannelMonitor::get_latest_holder_commitment_txn panics if called for non-accepted channels (?)
@devrandom mentioned this is changing for v0.0.13, so it may not apply after that.

ChannelManager::funding_transaction_generated panics if called for an already accepted channel.

May add more if I find any.

ChannelManager::claim_funds mentions something similar as well. In general all the ChannelManager functions should at least handle double-calls for a given event, given there are races that make it hard to avoid on the client side.

Dont have to fully solve this for 0.1.1, but we should at least hit the ChannelManager parts.

ChannelManager parts done!
