channeldb: fix channel corruption bug upon channel closure
This commit fixes a bug which would previously lead to corruption of
the channel state when a node had one or more channels open and one of
them was closed either forcibly or cooperatively. The source of the bug
itself as a typo: rather than using the construed `deliveryKey`
variable to fetch/put/delete the delivery scripts, `deliveryScriptsKey`
(the key prefix itself) as used. This bug would cause the database to
be unable to read _any_ channel from the database after one was
deleted, as each channel would actually be reading/writing-to the
_exact same_ delivery script.

The fix for the bug itself is simple: eliminate the typo.

channeldb

[Build Status] (https://travis-ci.org/lightningnetwork/lnd) [MIT licensed] (https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/LICENSE) [GoDoc] (http://godoc.org/github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/channeldb)

The channeldb implements the persistent storage engine for lnd and generically a data storage layer for the required state within the Lightning Network. The backing storage engine is boltdb, an embedded pure-go key-value store based off of LMDB.

The package implements an object-oriented storage model with queries and mutations flowing through a particular object instance rather than the database itself. The storage implemented by the objects includes: open channels, past commitment revocation states, the channel graph which includes authenticated node and channel announcements, outgoing payments, and invoices
