channels_list: remove anchor icon
Anchor outputs are not optional, so this icon does not add meaningful
information to the user. It is only marginally useful for debuging.
What changed, and why it matters
This commit simply removes a small anchor icon from the user interface. Anchor outputs are a standard feature, so the icon no longer provided useful information. No security issue is present.
No action needed; this is a benign UI cleanup.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The commit deletes the anchor.png icon and removes the ChanFeatAnchors ChannelFeature class and its registration in ChannelFeatureIcons. This is a UI-only cleanup because anchor outputs are mandatory, making the indicator redundant. No code handling anchor outputs or channel security is changed.
