lightningd: deprecate decodepay.

It only works on BOLT11, and has long been replaced by the more
generic "decode".

Removing it will stop the confusion!

(Note: documentation claims it was introduced in 23.08, but that was
 wrong, as it's been in CLN since the beginning).

[ Fixup from: niftynei <[email protected]> ]
Fixes: #6419
Changelog-Deprecated: JSON-RPC: `decodepay`: use `decode`.

 Inevitably there are features which need to change: either to be generalized, or removed when they can no longer be supported.
