lnpeer: move htlc forwarding funcs to lnworker

forwarding happens independent of the peer that received the htlc to
forward and fits better in lnworker.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a straightforward code reorganization: it moves several Lightning Network HTLC (payment forwarding) helper functions from the peer-specific file (lnpeer.py) into the broader worker file (lnworker.py). The actual logic, checks, and behavior of the functions are preserved almost unchanged. There is no indication this change fixes or introduces a security vulnerability.

Recommended action

No immediate security action required. Treat as routine refactoring. If reviewing for security, focus separately on the pre-existing FIXME items about HTLC double-forwarding after crash and dust HTLC exposure, which are not changed by this commit.

Security signals we found

01

Code relocation with no functional change to security-critical HTLC forwarding logic

02

Existing safety warnings (FIXME) about forwarding persistence and dust exposure remain present, not addressed

03

No new input validation, no new cryptographic operations, no privilege changes
