multi: fix lint findings from btcd v2 migration

The btcd v2 module migration re-touched several lines that the line-length
linter then flagged, and left one error return unchecked. Wrap the
over-length lines in input/test_utils.go and zpay32 (the address-decode
helpers and test fixtures whose btcutil->address rename lengthened them),
and check the LoadTxFilter error return in routing/chainview/btcd.go.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is mostly a cleanup patch: it wraps long lines caused by a recent library rename and, importantly, adds a missing error check around a call that loads a Bitcoin transaction filter. The error check prevents a silent failure where the node might continue without realizing its filter was not updated, which could affect routing/chain monitoring. There is no direct evidence this is exploitable as a security vulnerability.

Recommended action

Treat as a low-risk reliability fix. Review whether the logged error in routing/chainview/btcd.go should also propagate or trigger a rescan/retry, rather than only logging, to avoid a persistently stale filter state. No urgent security response is indicated.

Security signals we found

01

Previously unchecked error return now handled

02

Silent failure in transaction filter update could lead to stale chain view

03

No input validation, memory safety, or cryptographic changes present
