chanstate: move shutdown metadata

Move the ShutdownInfo state type, constructor, and closer helper into
chanstate. The type describes channel shutdown state and is not tied to
the concrete KV backend.

Keep the TLV encode and decode helpers in channeldb for now, since
those functions describe the current persisted format. The channeldb
constructor remains as a compatibility wrapper.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a straightforward internal code reorganization. It moves the definition of a small data structure called ShutdownInfo (which tracks who started closing a Lightning channel and what address should receive funds) from one package to another, while keeping the actual save/load encoding code in the original place. There is no change to user-facing behavior, no bug fix, and no security patch.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Treat as normal refactoring during code review.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
