Add a method to update the current `UserConfig` in `ChannelManager`

The `UserConfig` is used to set the default configuration on new
channels and also controls some global behavior in
`ChannelManager`, so should probably be updatable without
restarting the node. Here we add such a method.

We also take this opportunity to rename the `UserConfig` related
methods and update their docs since `UserConfig` has been more than
just the default configuration for new channels for some time.
