pyln-testing: add old_hsmsecret param to get_node.

This defaults to false for now: this breaks a lot of tests (since node ids change!)
once we switch to true.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a testing-only change. It adds an option to the Core Lightning Python test framework so that tests can choose whether to create nodes using the older style 'hsm_secret' file or the newer BIP39-style mnemonic secret. It does not change production code, does not fix a vulnerability, and does not introduce an obvious security bug.

Recommended action

No security action required. This is a test-framework compatibility change. Reviewers may want to verify that the new mnemonic generation path does not accidentally weaken test determinism or leak entropy, but the change is confined to the testing harness.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
