lsp_plugin: add fn to wrap payload with peer id

We need to somehow access the peer id in the jrpc server to know where
the response should go. This seems to be the most convenient way for
now. We may unclutter this in the future if this results in performance
issues.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a helper function in the LSPS (Lightning Service Provider Specification) plugin that attaches the sender's peer ID to incoming JSON-RPC messages before passing them to the internal handler. It is a plumbing/infrastructure change to make routing responses easier. There is no direct security fix or vulnerability being patched; it is a feature addition with some minor robustness checks.

Recommended action

No immediate action required. Reviewers may want to confirm that `wrap_payload_with_peer_id` cannot be fed a payload that triggers the panic path, and consider whether the infallible convenience function is appropriate for production use. If malformed custom messages can reach `on_custommsg`, switch to `try_wrap_payload_with_peer_id` and handle errors gracefully.

Security signals we found

01

New input-validation helper checks JSON object braces before mutating payload

02

Public-key parsing uses existing `cln_rpc::primitives::PublicKey::from_str` rather than custom crypto

03

Convenience wrappers panic on malformed input, but the production path in `service.rs` currently uses the infallible `wrap_payload_with_peer_id` which calls `.expect`

04

No authentication or authorization change; peer ID is taken from the `CustomMsgNotification` already provided by Core Lightning
