askrene: add expiration parameter to create-layer

This could be useful if we want to create one-time use layers
on the flight and not worry about memory leaks (one time used
layers that are not removed constitute a memory leak in a sense).

Changelog-Added: askrene: add an optional self-destruction timer (expiration parameter) to new layers.
