input: thread script options through taproot HTLC functions

This commit extends the taproot HTLC script generation functions to accept
TaprootScriptOpt parameters, enabling callers to specify whether production
or staging script variants should be generated. The SenderHTLCScriptTaproot
and ReceiverHTLCScriptTaproot functions now accept a variadic opts parameter
that is forwarded to the underlying script tree construction.

This change provides the necessary infrastructure for the wallet and contract
resolution systems to generate the appropriate script trees based on channel
type. Production taproot channels can now pass the WithProdScripts() option
to generate optimized scripts using OP_CHECKSIGVERIFY, while staging channels
continue to use the existing development script structure.

The modification maintains backward compatibility by making the opts parameter
variadic with sensible defaults. Existing callers that do not specify options
will continue to generate staging scripts as before, ensuring no disruption
to current functionality while enabling future production script support.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a plumbing change for Lightning Network's taproot HTLC script generation. It adds optional parameters so callers can choose between 'staging' (development) and 'production' script variants. By default, existing callers continue using staging scripts, so behavior is unchanged. There is no direct security fix or vulnerability here; it is infrastructure preparation for a future production feature.

Recommended action

No security action required. Review as normal code-quality/API change. Ensure downstream callers that intend production scripts explicitly pass WithProdScripts() when the feature is enabled.
