It makes sense to allow users to use a different wallet from the default one.

There's one important caveat: once set, users shouldn't change it while they have open channels.
We mention this clearly in the documentation, I don't think we need an explicit mechanism in the code to prevent starting with a different wallet (for example, if no channels are open, it's safe to change your wallet). It's use-at-your-own-risk if users choose to ignore the documented caveats. @darwin is that trade-off ok?

Fixes #1538

We wrap these exceptions but preserve the original one.
