BIP-353 contains instructions on how to pay users with static internet identifiers. The displayed address will have a ₿ prefix . Probably wallets will reuse the same address for both BIP-353 and lnurl. Currently, however, hte SDK's lnurl parsing doesn't allow a ₿ prefix due to the specifications in LUD-16.
This PR strips the ₿ prefix from a lightning address, to ensure lnurl identifiers with BIP-353 compatibility can be parsed.
