lnwallet: add noop case to retransmit test

To make sure we don't cause force-closures because of commit sig
mismatches, we add a test case to verify that the retransmitted HTLC
matches the original HTLC.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only adds a new test case to an existing unit test. It does not change any production code. The new test verifies that when a special 'noop' (no-operation) HTLC is retransmitted after a restart, it matches the original HTLC exactly, so that both channel partners agree on the commitment signature and avoid accidentally force-closing the channel. Because no real code behavior is changed, this commit by itself does not introduce or fix a live security vulnerability.

Recommended action

No immediate action required. Treat as normal test-coverage improvement. If the underlying production behavior for noop HTLC retransmission is a concern, review the related production code paths separately; this commit does not alter them.

Security signals we found

01

Test-only change; no production logic modified

02

Relates to commitment-signature resynchronization after restart

03

Targets tapscript-root channel type with noop HTLCs

04

Mentions avoiding force-closures due to commit sig mismatches
