Pre-calculate heap element scores (retaining RouteGraphNode size)

`RouteGraphNode` currently recalculates scores in its `Ord`
implementation, wasting time while sorting the main Dijkstra's
heap.

Further, some time ago, when implementing the `htlc_maximum_msat`
amount reduction while walking the graph, we added
`PathBuildingHop::was_processed`, looking up the source node in
`dist` each time we pop'ed an element off of the binary heap.
As a result, we now have a reference to our `PathBuildingHop` when
processing a best-node's channels, leading to several fields in
`RouteGraphNode` being entirely redundant.

Here we drop those fields, but add a pre-calculated score field,
as well as force a suboptimal `RouteGraphNode` layout, retaining
its existing 64 byte size.

Without the suboptimal layout, performance is very mixed, but with
it performance is mostly improved, by around 10% in most tests.
