A deterministic schedule for confirmation during force-close scenarios could in theory help malicious peers starve us of our utxos, making it hard to fee-bump HTLC transactions. Adding some randomness into the mix to non-deterministically speed up confirmations (which gives us newly confirmed utxos to bump other txs) shouldn't hurt.

Now that #2113 is out of the way, we can start tweaking and making small improvements to the fee-bumping mechanism.
