gitignore: Ignore lightning-downgrade and check-bolt tools
Changelog-None.
What changed, and why it matters
This commit simply adds two generated tool names to .gitignore files so that Git does not accidentally track compiled binaries. It does not change any executable code, configuration defaults, or security behavior.
No action required; this is a benign repository hygiene change.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
