lnwallet+lnwire: handle boundary cases

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit fixes two separate boundary-case bugs in the Lightning Network Daemon (LND). First, it prevents a peer from getting stuck when a channel-funding message arrives after its wallet reservation has already been cleaned up: the code now sends a completion signal instead of leaving the caller waiting forever. Second, it corrects how zero-block gossip range queries are handled so that empty queries keep their starting block height and so that a densely populated first block no longer triggers an invalid zero-block reply before the real reply.

Recommended action

Treat as a routine bug-fix/security-hardening patch. Apply in the next maintenance release. Operators running public LND nodes should upgrade to avoid potential P2P gossip synchronization issues and funding-handling stalls. No immediate emergency response is indicated because the commit fixes defensive boundary cases rather than an actively exploited critical vulnerability.

Security signals we found

01

Denial-of-service vector: missing funding reservation could leave a peer/goroutine blocked on completeChan, causing resource exhaustion or protocol stall.

02

P2P gossip protocol correctness: zero-block reply prefixes and incorrect LastBlockHeight for empty ranges could violate BOLT 7 expectations and confuse syncing peers.

03

Boundary-condition fixes for unsigned integer arithmetic (NumBlocks==0 and MaxUint32 overflow).

04

No explicit CVE or security advisory referenced in commit or release notes.
