lnwallet: integrate production script options in commitment generation

This commit updates the wallet's commitment transaction generation logic to
use appropriate script options based on the channel type. The commitment
builder now determines whether a channel uses production taproot scripts
and passes the WithProdScripts() option accordingly to HTLC script generation
functions.

The changes affect three key areas of the wallet: channel state management,
commitment transaction construction, and funding reservation handling. Each
area now properly detects production taproot channels using the IsTaprootFinal()
method and applies the correct script generation options to ensure consistency
with the channel's script optimization level.

This integration ensures that production taproot channels generate commitment
transactions with optimized script trees using OP_CHECKSIGVERIFY, while
maintaining full compatibility with staging taproot and legacy channel types.
The script option selection is applied consistently across all commitment
transaction scenarios including local commits, remote commits, and HTLC
processing.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds support for a new 'production' version of taproot Lightning channels. It makes sure the wallet picks the correct, optimized Bitcoin scripts when building commitment transactions for this new channel type, while keeping older staging taproot and legacy channels unchanged. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this fixes an active security vulnerability; it reads more like feature completion for a new channel type.

Recommended action

Treat as a feature/integration commit rather than an urgent security patch. Reviewers should verify that IsTaprootFinal() correctly identifies only the intended production taproot channels and that WithProdScripts() is applied consistently across all commitment and HTLC paths, including any other call sites not shown in this diff.
