lightningd: add watchman.h declarations

watchman is the lightningd-side counterpart to the bwatch plugin
landed in the previous group: it tracks how far we've processed
the chain, queues outbound watch ops while bwatch is starting up,
and dispatches watch_found/watch_revert/blockdepth notifications
to subdaemon-specific handlers.

This commit adds only the public surface (struct watchman, the
three handler typedefs, and prototypes for watchman_new,
watchman_ack, watchman_replay_pending) plus an empty watchman.c
so the header is exercised by the build. Definitions land in
subsequent commits.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only adds a new header file describing a future component and an empty source file. No actual code logic is implemented, so there is nothing an attacker could exploit or that could directly affect users. It is a structural preparation step for later work.

Recommended action

No security action needed for this commit. Review the follow-up commits that implement watchman_new, ack handling, enqueue/replay, and bwatch interaction for actual security-relevant logic.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
