The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit updates Core Lightning to follow a newer version of the BOLT (Basis of Lightning Technology) specification. The change makes the `channel_type` field mandatory during channel opening, but the code already required it in practice. The patch is mostly textual: it updates comments, error messages, and the reference BOLT version. There is no evidence of a security vulnerability being fixed.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a routine specification-compliance update.
