Check can_initiate_rbf in stfu handler before sending tx_init_rbf

If splice_locked is sent between our outgoing STFU and the
counterparty's STFU response, the stfu() handler would proceed to
send tx_init_rbf for an already-confirmed splice. Guard against this
by re-checking can_initiate_rbf when entering quiescence. Disconnect
because there is no way to cancel quiescence after both sides have
exchanged STFU.
