graph/db+sqldb: make policy migration idempotent

Finally, we make the channel-policy part of the SQL migration idempotent
by adding a migration-only policy insert query which will not error out
if the policy already exists and does not have a timestamp that is newer
than the existing records timestamp. To keep the commit simple, a
insertChanEdgePolicyMig function is added which is basically identical
to the updateChanEdgePolicy function except for the fact that it uses
the newly added query. In the next commit, it will be simplified even
more.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit fixes a database migration in LND so that if the migration is interrupted and run again, it won't fail when it sees channel policies that were already copied over. It replaces a strict 'only update if newer' insert with an 'insert or update regardless of timestamp' version used only during migration. This is a reliability improvement, not a security fix, and it does not introduce a new vulnerability.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal code-quality/reliability improvement. If deploying, ensure the migration has been tested on a staging node with existing channel data.
