hsmd: remove unused "sign_local_htlc_tx" function which onchaind used to use.

I tried removing sign_penalty_to_us, but that comment is wrong: channeld
uses that for the watchtower, so it stays (with updated comment).

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit removes an old, unused function called sign_local_htlc_tx from the wallet's Hardware Security Module (HSM) interface. The function was previously used by the on-chain transaction handler (onchaind) but is no longer called anywhere. The change is a cleanup that also updates a comment about another function used by watchtowers. There is no security fix here.

Recommended action

No security action required. This is a routine dead-code removal and comment correction.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
