qml: QEInvoice: check if channels are still reestablishing

When opening an InvoiceDialog quickly after starting Electrum, e.g.
when it is being launched through an URI, the UI will say insufficient
balance if the lightning channels are still in the process of being
reestablished. While technically correct this is confusing to the user.
Instead if there is are channels that are funded and still disconnected
this will now change it to tell the user that the channels are still
in the connection phase.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a user-experience fix, not a security fix. It changes the mobile/QML wallet's invoice screen so that, if Lightning channels are still reconnecting right after the app starts, the user sees a 'Connecting to Lightning peers...' message instead of a misleading 'insufficient balance' error. There is no indication this resolves an exploitable vulnerability.

Recommended action

No security action required; treat as a normal UX improvement.
