txgraph: update chunk index on Compact (preparation)

This makes TxGraphImpl::Compact() invoke Cluster::Updated() on all
affected clusters, in case they have internal GraphIndex values stored
that may have become outdated with the renumbering of GraphIndex values
that Compact() caused.

No such GraphIndex values are currently stored, but this will change in
a future commit.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a small internal preparation change in Bitcoin Core's new transaction-graph code. It makes the index-compaction routine notify affected transaction clusters after graph indexes are swapped, so that future code can safely store extra index-based data. The commit itself does not introduce or fix any currently reachable bug; it only lays groundwork and adds defensive consistency checks.

Recommended action

No immediate action required. Treat as routine refactoring/preparation. Review the follow-up commit that actually stores GraphIndex values in chunk information to confirm the defensive update is sufficient.

Security signals we found

01

Defensive consistency update after internal index renumbering
