Description
Some nodes set a higher default htlc_minimum_msat and https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/1f7ada3486cd39da6de9308c5f048fce1aeea8fd/electrum/lnutil.py#L113 rejects any attempt to open a channel with these nodes.
Would it be possible to make this configurable or increase the limit?

Research direction
Start with electrum/lnutil.py at line 113, where self.htlc_minimum_msat rejects channel attempts. Read the surrounding Lightning channel validation and configuration paths to determine whether the limit should be configurable or increased. Done means compatible channels with nodes advertising higher htlc_minimum_msat are accepted, with coverage for the chosen behavior.
