lncli: change listinvoices reversed flag to paginate-forwards #4003

The listinvoices --reversed flag is changed to --paginate-forwards to fix #3986.

Currently, if one likes to start to paginate from the beginning of the invoices history
one has to set --reversed=False, which is not very intuitive. Otherwise the
--reversed flag has no effect at all, as it is set by default. The downside of the change
is that it diverts from the grpc API, where the reversed flag still is present.

If this change is wanted I would apply it also to the payments listing in PR #3960.

LGTM 🥇
I think a boolean flag with default value true defeats the purpose of a flag. This makes more sense to me.
I'm fine with it being called differently on gRPC.

Looks good to me, I think it's fine having the rpc and cli have different values. This is much more intuitive, nice PR 🔥

This commit renames the `reversed` pagination flag to
`paginate-forwards`, which is off by default. In order to
access older invoices one can set the paginate-forwards flag,
which is more intuitive than setting the reversed flag to false.
