lightningd: `delnetworkevent` support

Changelog-Added: JSON-RPC: `delnetworkevent` to delete from listnetworkevents.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new administrative JSON-RPC command called `delnetworkevent` that lets a node operator delete a single diagnostic network event from the local database by its index. It is intended for housekeeping (for example, the autoclean plugin) and does not affect live channels or funds. There is no indication in the commit that this fixes a security bug; it appears to be a routine feature addition.

Recommended action

No security action required beyond normal code review. Operators should ensure RPC access remains authenticated and restricted as with all administrative commands.

Security signals we found

01

New RPC command added with explicit non-security purpose

02

Uses existing prepared-statement parameter binding (db_bind_u64) for the index

03

No SQL injection or type-confusion signals in the diff

04

No changelog or commit message claims security relevance
