mod: update etcd/bbolt lib to newest version

Version v1.4.3 has some important bugfixes. We bump both version
in the same go so we do not need to tag the kvdb package and the
latest version of will be used.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit updates two Go library dependencies—bbolt (a database engine used by LND) and pflag (a command-line flag parser)—to newer versions. The commit message says the new bbolt version contains 'important bugfixes,' but it does not say those bugfixes are security issues, and no specific vulnerabilities are named in the commit or supplied references. The change is a routine dependency bump, not a patch to LND's own code.

Recommended action

Review the upstream bbolt v1.4.3 release notes and changelog to determine whether any fixed bug is security-relevant or exploitable through LND's database usage. If a relevant security fix is identified, assess whether LND's prior v1.3.11 usage was affected and track it with an advisory/CVE if warranted. Treat this commit as a maintenance update unless upstream information proves otherwise.

Security signals we found

01

Dependency version bump for bbolt, a core storage library

02

Commit message calls bbolt v1.4.3 bugfixes 'important'

03

No CVE, advisory, or security-specific wording in commit or references

04

No LND code changes; risk depends entirely on upstream bbolt fixes
