currencyrate: implement currencyrate command.

For the simple case of offers conversion, converting a given amount of
fiat to BTC is the desired API. But for almost everything else, we
want to get the (median) per-BTC rate.

Changelog-Added: JSON-RPC: `currencyrate` API for getting the current median BTC conversion top a given fiat currency.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new public command called currencyrate to Core Lightning. It lets users ask the node for the current median exchange rate of one bitcoin into a chosen fiat currency. The change is purely a feature addition: it exposes data that the existing currencyrate plugin already collects, without altering security-sensitive logic such as wallet handling, network parsing, or cryptographic checks.

Recommended action

No security action required. Reviewers may optionally confirm that the new RPC respects the plugin's existing access-control model and that the median calculation in the oracle remains unchanged.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
