Persist full monitor if there is an error while applying monitor_update

Motivation: When there is an error while applying monitor_update to a
channel_monitor,  we don't want to persist a 'monitor_update' which
results in a failure to apply later while reading 'channel_monitor' with
updates from storage. Instead, we should persist the entire 'channel_monitor'
here.
