`query_option_flags` is a bitfield represented as a minimally-encoded bigsize. Bits have the following meaning:

| Bit Position | Meaning |

Though it is possible, it would not be very useful to ask for checksums without asking for timestamps too: the receiving node may have an older `channel_update` with a different checksum, asking for it would be useless. And if a `channel_update` checksum is actually 0 (which is quite unlikely) it will not be queried.
