Following #2361, we reject channel updates that don't contain the htlc_maximum_msat field. However, the network DB may contain such channel updates, that we need to remove when starting up.

I've checked what we have in our network DB on the ACINQ node before opening that PR. We have ~100 channel updates that don't contain an htlc_maximum_msat, but all of them except one are completely outdated (from before 2020), which indicates that we have a pruning bug that I'll fix in a separate PR. The only non-outdated invalid channel update that we have is a 22,222 sat channel between a node called dontconnect and a node called Sybil: https://1ml.com/channel/588047405915373568

So we can pretty much ignore it.

`htlc_maximum_msat` field. However, the network DB may contain such
channel updates, that we need to remove when starting up.
