The existing description is incorrect. `createinvoice` doesn't actually
work when supplied with a custom-encoded bolt11 invoice without the
final 520 signature bits appended. If a users tries to do so, some of
their tagged fields will be incorrectly truncated.
`createinvoice` actually expects that the signatures are there, and it
simply ignores them.
See common/bolt11.c's bolt11_decode_nosig:
/* BOLT #11:
*
* The data part of a Lightning invoice consists of multiple sections:
*
* 1. `timestamp`: seconds-since-1970 (35 bits, big-endian)
* 1. zero or more tagged parts
* 1. `signature`: Bitcoin-style signature of above (520 bits)
*/
