Instructions for use with c-lightning

RingTools-CLI uses LND by default. To use c-lightning add --client cl as argument.

If you don’t have the RPC unix at the default location use the --clrpc /path/to/lightning-rpc argument.

The channel format is different when using C-lightning, but if you use the pubkeys.txt file this should not matter.
