Update Bitcoin Core to v29.1 (#3153)

Update Bitcoin Core to v29.1. This release doesn't contain any breaking
change. It contains the following interesting features that we want to
leverage in future eclair versions:

- orphan handling improvements which lead to better propagation of
force-close transactions
- support for ephemeral dust, which we'll need for 0-fee commitments
(v3 transactions)

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit simply updates Eclair's required Bitcoin Core version from 28.1 to 29.1. It changes download URLs, version checks, documentation, and adjusts a couple of test expectations to match Bitcoin Core 29.1's behavior. There is no security vulnerability in this change.

Recommended action

No security action required. This is a routine dependency version bump. Operators should ensure their Bitcoin Core node is upgraded to 29.1 or higher before deploying this Eclair version, as required by the updated assertion.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.

This commit updates Eclair's Bitcoin library dependency from version 0.48 to 0.49, which internally uses newer versions of bitcoin-kmp and secp256k1-kmp. The code changes only replace old property accesses (like `.txid`) with new method ca…
