Somewhat optimize the generic Features::requires_unknown_bits

It turns out we spend several percent of our routefinding time just
checking if nodes and channels require unknown features
byte-by-byte. While the cost is almost certainly dominated by the
memory read latency, avoiding doing the checks byte-by-byte should
reduce the branch count slightly, which may reduce the overhead.
