fuzz-tests: Add a test for `full_channel` operations

Changelog-None: Functions defined in `channeld/full_channel.h`
contain channel operations like `ADD_HTLC`, `FULFILL_HTLC`,
`UPDATE_FEERATE`, etc.

Since they are a critical part of the HTLC state machine and may
be influenced by external agents, add a stateful test for them.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new automated fuzz test for Core Lightning's channel state machine. It is purely a test/instrumentation addition: it creates no new production code, changes no protocol behavior, and does not fix any bug. The change is defensive in nature, intended to help find future bugs in HTLC handling.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal test infrastructure. Optionally review the fuzz harness for correctness if integrating into CI.

01

Adds fuzz coverage for HTLC state machine (defensive testing, not a vulnerability fix)
