The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a missing piece of information—the channel type—to two plugin hooks used when opening Lightning channels. It is a straightforward feature addition that lets plugins see what kind of channel is being offered. There is no indication it fixes a security bug or introduces a vulnerability.
