mod: bump kvdb to v1.5.1

Move from kvdb/v1.5.0 to the freshly tagged kvdb/v1.5.1, which points
at current master HEAD. The new tag includes the kvdb submodule's grpc
floor bump to v1.79.3 (173fd5147) and the otel SDK bump past the
GO-2026-4394 vulnerability (9978f4d33).

The root lnd module already requires the newer grpc and otel versions,
so this bump is effectively a relabel with no transitive impact on the
root build. But it keeps downstream consumers that import lnd/kvdb
directly from picking up v1.5.0 and pulling in the vulnerable otel SDK
through kvdb's submodule go.mod.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit updates a dependency version in LND's build files. It bumps the internal 'kvdb' submodule from version 1.5.0 to 1.5.1 so that downstream projects importing kvdb directly do not pull in an older, vulnerable telemetry library (OpenTelemetry SDK). The commit message says the main LND module already uses the newer versions, so this change is mostly a relabel for consumers of the kvdb submodule and has no direct code change in LND itself.

Recommended action

No immediate action is required for LND operators or users building the root module, because the commit message states the root module already uses the patched versions. Projects that import github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/kvdb directly should update to v1.5.1 or later. General best practice: verify with 'go mod graph' or vulnerability scanners that the OpenTelemetry SDK is at a fixed version.

Security signals we found

01

Dependency bump explicitly motivated by a known vulnerability identifier (GO-2026-4394)

02

No source code changes in LND itself; only module metadata updated

03

Vendor describes the root build as already unaffected, limiting direct security impact on LND

04

Change protects downstream direct importers of the kvdb submodule
