pytest: use old hsm secret whenever a canned database files is used

Anything using a canned db depends on the node ids being generated from the old hsm seed.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only changes test files. It tells the test framework to use an older, fixed HSM (wallet seed) secret whenever a test loads a pre-made ('canned') database snapshot. This ensures the test node's public identity matches the one recorded in the snapshot, so database migration and regression tests keep working after a recent change to how random seeds are generated. It is a test-suite maintenance patch, not a fix for a runtime security vulnerability.

Recommended action

No security action required. Reviewers may optionally verify that the new old_hsmsecret flag is correctly wired in the test framework and that all canned-database tests still pass.

Security signals we found

01

No production code changed

02

Test-only parameter added to preserve deterministic node IDs for canned DB regression tests

03

No cryptographic algorithm, key handling, or network protocol change

04

No mention of vulnerability, CVE, or security fix in commit message or diff
