Configure lightning-js nodes to not advertise anchor channel support by setting anchor_channels_config to None. This prevents the LSP from attempting to open anchor channels, which require 25,000 sats on-chain reserves that website nodes don't have. Instead, the LSP will automatically negotiate non-anchor channels which don't require on-chain reserves.
This fixes payment failures where website nodes were rejecting inbound anchor channels due to insufficient reserves, causing the LSP's retry with non-anchor channels to fail if the node had already shut down before the LSP could retry.
Testing locally, we can see that Anchor channels are no longer supported and we no longer have channel rejections.
