channeldb: extract close-channel helpers

Move the body of OpenChannel.CloseChannel into ChannelStateDB.CloseChannel
(which dispatches to a new closeChannelSync method), and split the close
logic into three free helpers:

- locateOpenChannel: descends the open-channel bucket tree and returns the
chain bucket, channel bucket, and serialized chanKey for an OpenChannel.
- updateClosedOutpointIndex: flips the outpoint index entry for a chanKey
from open to closed.
- archiveClosedChannel: writes the historical-channel record and the close
summary that survive the close.

Behavior is preserved: closeChannelSync runs the same sequence of mutations
(packager wipe, chanBucket delete, log-bucket delete, outpoint flip,
historical archive, close summary) that the inline body did, just composed
out of the new helpers. No callers, options, or readers change.

This is preparation for adding a tombstone close strategy on KV-SQL
backends; the helpers will be shared between the synchronous and tombstone
paths so historical and closed-channel records remain identical across
backends.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a pure internal code reorganization. It moves the existing channel-closing logic into smaller helper functions without changing what the code actually does, who can call it, or any user-visible behavior. There is no security fix or vulnerability here.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Review as normal code-quality refactor if desired.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
