In order to know how much is currently able to receive on a channel (with one transaction) we may want to have receivable_msat / receivable_msatoshi in listpeers output similar to spendable_msat.
A remote may still reject to send that much through a channel for other reasons, but receivable_msat should reflect the technical maximum: total - reserves - 1x funders on-chain HTLC fees at current rate.
