bwatch: add addwatch/delwatch helpers

bwatch_add_watch and bwatch_del_watch are the high-level entry points
the RPCs (added in a later commit) use. Adding a watch that already
exists merges the owner list and lowers start_block if the new request
needs to scan further back, so a re-registering daemon (e.g. onchaind
on restart) doesn't lose missed events. Removing a watch drops only
the requesting owner; the watch itself is removed once the owner list
is empty.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds two helper functions for managing blockchain watches in a new plugin called bwatch. It lets different parts of the program register interest in a transaction or output, merge duplicate registrations, and remove their interest when done. There is no obvious security bug in the change itself; it is routine infrastructure code.

Recommended action

No immediate security action required. Review the callers (RPC handlers and daemon restart paths) in later commits to confirm owner_id values are trustworthy and that start_block lowering cannot be abused to force expensive rescans.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
