Feature Request: support lightning network payments #7615

Right now CLN does not support payments unless it is to a directly connected peer, making CLN only useful for routing payments for others. CLN version 23 was the last functioning version as v24 has alot of gossip related issues and inability to do payments. (not sure if these issues are related or not).

Boosting https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/issues/7180 for visibility. And sending this as a feature request to bring back the ability to do payments again.

If this issue cannot be fixed in v24, it may be good to consider reverting back to version 23 as the official latest release.
