lnonion/onion_wire: encrypted_data -> encrypted_recipient_data

Previously there were different names for the encrypted_recipient_data
field in blinded paths, depending on it being for a onion message
or a blinded payment. This has been unified in the bolts, now it is always
encrypted_recipient_data. This allows to simplify
lnonion.encrypt_hops_recipient_data.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a routine cleanup to match a recent change in the Lightning Network specifications. It renames a field from 'encrypted_data' to 'encrypted_recipient_data' everywhere and removes an old workaround that handled two different names. There is no indication this fixes a security bug; it is a standards-alignment refactor.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal standards-compliance refactor.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
