Rusty Russell cccdb53bec channel_states: fold all the ONCHAIND states into one.
The billboard is now far more useful to tell what's going on, and this
gets us closer to a state == owner mapping.

gabridome 3a5aa75fb6 A more detailed description of the "amount" field
The more frequent question I ask to myself when initiating channels regards the amount field.

In this document we have three different denominations and the modification proposed aims to address the possible doubts or errors.
The names <amount_in_bitcoins>, <amount_in_satoshis> or <amount_in_millisatoshis> (this last is omitted because the denomination is in the description) are not so elegant but they could serve the purpose.

* making the cli more user friendly for inexperienced users #662

providing a quickfix for https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/issues/662

They were telling people to use the `<amount>`, but that's encoded in
the route already. Instead the final parameter is the `<rhash>` which
is the only piece of information missing for the transfer.
