Be more liberal when parsing Denomination

There is no reason to force users to use one particular form when
providing a denomination string. We can be liberal in what we accept
with no loss of clarity.

Allow `Denomination` strings to use a variety of forms, in particular
lower case and uppercase.

Note, we explicitly disallow various forms of `Msat` because it is
ambiguous whether this means milli or mega sats.
