When our peer tells us (through a channel_reestablish message) that our commitment is outdated, even if they don't prove it, we ask them to publish their commitment and wait. Here we add an`overrideOutdatedCommitment` option to the `forceclose` API call to allow publishing our commitment in that state, which could be dangerous if our peer was not lying.
