graph/db: add v2 channel announcement fields to ChannelEdgeInfo

This commit extends ChannelEdgeInfo to support v2 (taproot) channel
announcements by adding:
- MerkleRootHash for the optional Merkle tree commitment
- ExtraSignedFields for additional signed TLV fields
- ChannelV2Fields struct to encapsulate v2-specific optional fields
- NewV2Channel constructor for creating v2 channel edges
- FundingPKScript handling for MuSig2 key aggregation with optional
taproot tweaks

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds new data fields and code to support version 2 (Taproot) Lightning channels in LND's graph database. It does not fix a bug or close a security hole; it is a feature addition that lets the software understand and store newer channel announcement formats, including optional Merkle tree commitments and MuSig2 aggregated public keys. There is no indication in the commit or supplied references that this change addresses a security vulnerability.

Recommended action

No immediate security action required. Review the new MuSig2/taproot key aggregation logic during normal code review to ensure correct handling of optional Bitcoin keys and Merkle root tweaks, but treat this as a feature commit rather than a security patch.
