clusterlin: split tx/chunk dep counting (preparation)

This splits the chunk_deps variable in LoadLinearization in two, one for
tracking tx dependencies and one for chunk dependencies. This is a
preparation for a later commit, where chunks won't be identified anymore
by a representative transaction in them, but by a separate index. With
that, it seems weird to keep them both in the same structure if they
will be indexed in an unrelated way.

Note that the changes in src/test/util/cluster_linearize.h to the table
of worst observed iteration counts are due to switching to a different
data set, and are unrelated to the changes in this commit.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a routine internal code cleanup in Bitcoin Core's transaction clustering/linearization logic. It splits one combined counter into two separate counters for clarity, with no functional change intended. There is no security issue visible in the commit.

Recommended action

No security action needed; treat as normal code review/merge.

Security signals we found
