connectd: use membuf for more efficient output queue.

This is exactly what membuf is for: it handles expansion much more
neatly.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a routine internal code cleanup in Core Lightning's connection daemon. It replaces a hand-rolled memory buffer (a manually resized byte array with an offset) with a standard helper called membuf. There is no indication this fixes a security bug; it is described by the author as a more efficient and neater way to manage the outgoing encrypted message queue.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Treat as normal refactoring/performance improvement.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
