build: pin tagged submodules and remove local replacements

In this commit, we pin btcutil and wire to their freshly tagged v2.0.1
releases. We also remove the root module's remaining local replace
directives now that all three in-tree modules have published versions.

This makes local builds and downstream module consumers resolve the same
btcutil, v2transport, and wire code. The regenerated checksums cover each
published module.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a routine build housekeeping change. It updates two internal Go module dependencies to newly published tagged versions and removes local directory overrides so that everyone builds with the same published code. There is no indication of a security fix or vulnerability in the commit itself.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal dependency/build maintenance. If reviewing for supply-chain assurance, verify the published v2.0.1 tags and checksums against the previously used local submodule code.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
