bkpr: remove missing event handling.

There will be no more missing events (and at initialization time, we will do
that as a migration).

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit removes a large chunk of fallback code in the bookkeeper plugin that tried to reconstruct missing channel-opening events by calling `listpeerchannels`. The author says missing events will no longer happen because they will be handled as a database migration at initialization. It is a cleanup/refactoring change, not a fix for an exploitable vulnerability.

Recommended action

Treat as a normal maintenance commit. Verify that the promised migration for missing events exists and correctly backfills data, since the fallback path is gone. No immediate security response is indicated by the diff itself.

Security signals we found

01

Large code deletion in a financial-accounting plugin

02

Removal of fallback path that reconstructed channel open events from live node state

03

Removal of JSON parsing of peer channel funding details for backfill

04

Removal of journal-entry balancing logic for missed events
