Feature Request: Implement real-time updates of channel balances from the nodes #418

Description

Describe the bug

While working on an example app using Polar, I noticed that opening a channel in the app doesn't seem to reflect in the Polar UI. I assume this is a bug but not 100% sure if Polar is intended to show channels in the pending state.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create a network in Polar (one node for each implementation should be fine), deposit some funds for Alice, and ensure that her balance is confirmed
  2. Run the example app linked above (yarn && yarn start in the example app directory should do it)
  3. Open a channel with one of the peers using the prompts (ignore the fact that pubkeys are being used instead of Aliases for now 😅 )
  4. Execute the List pending channels command and you should see that you have one

Expected behavior
I would think that Polar would reflect that there's a pending channel.
