We bias by channel linearly by capacity, scaled by median fee.
This means that we effectively double the fee if we would use the
entire capacity, and only increase it by 50% if we would only use
1/2 the capacity.
This should drive us towards larger channels.

When a request comes through, we forward it over to the funder who
uses the currently set policy to figure out how to handle it.
Includes small update to the policy engine which decides whether or not
to fund a request.
Changelog-Experimental: Plugins: `openchannel2` hook now includes optional fields for a channel lease request
