Remove AvailableBalances::balance_msat

The ChannelMonitor::get_claimable_balances method provides a more
straightforward approach to the balance of a channel, which satisfies
most use cases. The computation of AvailableBalances::balance_msat is
complex and originally had a different purpose that is not applicable
anymore.
