txgraph: avoid accessing other Cluster internals (refactor)

This adds 4 functions to Cluster to help implement Merge() and Split() without
needing access to the internals of the other Cluster. This is a preparation for
a follow-up that will make Clusters a virtual class whose internals are abstracted
away.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a clean internal code refactor in Bitcoin Core's transaction graph module. It adds four helper functions to the Cluster class so that Merge() and Split() no longer peek directly into another Cluster's private data structures. The behavior is unchanged; the change only prepares the code for a future abstraction where Cluster may become a virtual base class. There is no security fix here.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal code-quality refactor during review.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
