plugins/libplugin-pay.c: Be less aggressive with advancing through routehints.

Only advance through routehints if no route was found at all, or if the
estimated capacity at the routehint is lower than the amount that we
have to send through the routehint.

Changelog-Fixed: pay: Be less aggressive with forgetting routehints.
