lightningd: log when we have to defer hook registration.

If livelock ever *does* become an issue, we will see it in the logs.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This change only adds log messages when Core Lightning has to delay updating a plugin hook because the hook is currently in use. It does not fix or change any behavior; it is purely diagnostic observability to help detect a potential future 'livelock' problem. There is no security vulnerability being patched here.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal diagnostic logging improvement. If reviewing for reliability, verify the new log messages are not noisy in production, but this is an operational rather than security concern.

Security signals we found

01

No security-relevant code change: only logging added or promoted from debug to unusual

02

No bounds, input validation, cryptographic, or authorization changes

03

Commit message frames change as livelock observability, not a fix
