graph/db+sqldb: batch validation for zombie index migration

Finally, we update the migrateZombieIndex function to use batch
validation just like was done in the previous commits. Here, we
additionally make sure to validate the entire zombie index entry and not
just the SCID.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit improves a database migration that moves old 'zombie' Lightning channel records into a new SQL database. It switches from checking each record one-by-one to checking them in batches, and now also verifies the two node public keys associated with each channel, not just the channel ID. This is a correctness/reliability improvement for a one-time migration, not a fix for an active security vulnerability.

Recommended action

Treat as a normal reliability/correctness improvement. Include in release notes as a migration hardening change. No urgent security response is indicated by the diff itself.

Security signals we found

01

Migration validation now covers both node public keys, not just channel ID

02

Batch verification reduces per-row round-trips and makes consistency checks more efficient

03

Use of CompareRecords helper suggests defensive byte-level equality checking

04

No change to runtime protocol logic, consensus rules, or cryptographic operations
