Gift links: stop pre-reserving fee, show it at claim time

Previously createGift reserved a claim-fee headroom on top of the entered
amount based on the fee rate at creation. Because the fee was only actually
charged at claim time, fee-rate drift between the two moments silently ate
into (or padded) the recipient's amount.

Now the entered amount is exactly the recipient's full received total (sum of
inputs less our change); no fee is reserved. The claim screen shows that full
total as the headline and surfaces the live network-fee estimate on the Claim
button, where it's deducted from the recipient's balance at claim time.
