Correct MIN_FINAL_CLTV_EXPIRY to match our enforced requirements
Our enforced requirements for HTLC acceptance is that we have at least HTLC_FAIL_BACK_BUFFER blocks before the HTLC expires. When we receive an HTLC, the HTLC would be "already expired" if its `cltv_expiry` is current-block + 1 (ie the next block could broadcast the commitment transaction and time out the HTLC). From there, we want an extra HTLC_FAIL_BACK_BUFFER in blocks, plus an extra block or two to account for any differences in the view of the current height before send or while the HTLC is transiting the network.
