I think we should strive to splice in 1 on-chain tx, as if not the biggest
benefit really is lost compared to just closing and reopening the channel.
Complexity wise I don't think it will be that much to gain from the 2-tx
proposal as (if I understand the proposal correctly) there will be even
more transaction types with new scripts to code up and maintain.
