[mobile] straightforward way to import Lightning channel backups #7569

currently on Android (4.1.5) you can import channel backups by going to the Send tab, pressing Scan and scanning the QR code of a channel backup. this works, but it's very counter-intuitive.

a better way would be to have a fourth button on the Channels screen, e.g. reading "Import", to do the same.

once a scan is successful, I feel a warning is warranted that the importing of the channel won't allow using it for payments on this device, it only serves as a backup to retrieve the funds in the channel in case the originating wallet is lost.
