Drop the during-reorg channel closure behavior #867

Description

@TheBlueMatt

Currently, if we see a block disconnect which reduces our funding transaction confirmation count but doesn't make it 0, and we hit min_confs / 2, we close the channel. There is no reason to think a partial reorg indicates future reorg potential any more than steady-state, plus this risks needless channel closure. We should completely drop this behavior and only force-close if the confirmations hits 0. See-also #838 (comment)
