channeldb: add CloseConfirmationHeight field to track close tx confirmation

This commit adds a new CloseConfirmationHeight field to the OpenChannel
struct which records the block height at which the closing transaction
was first confirmed. This is stored using TLV encoding (TlvType9) for
backwards compatibility.

A new MarkCloseConfirmationHeight method is added to persist this value,
which can be called when the closing tx confirms and also supports
updates in case of chain reorgs.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new database field to record the block height at which a Lightning channel's closing transaction was confirmed. It is a straightforward data-model change with no security-relevant behavior visible in the diff. There is no fix for a vulnerability here—just new bookkeeping to support tracking how many confirmations a channel close has received and to handle blockchain reorganizations.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal feature/data-model commit. If this commit is part of a larger PR, review the follow-up commits that consume CloseConfirmationHeight to ensure confirmation-count logic is used safely.

Security signals we found
