bolt12: add InvoiceRequest message struct and TLV codec

The InvoiceRequest is the BOLT 12 message that links a payer to an
offer: it mirrors the offer's fields so the issuer can stay stateless,
and adds the payer-specific fields and Schnorr signature that prove the
request.

It implements lnwire.PureTLVMessage so it round-trips through the shared
TLV codec.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new data structure and serialization code for BOLT 12 invoice requests in the LND Lightning node. It is purely an implementation of a protocol message format and includes a round-trip test. There is no indication in the commit that it fixes a security bug or introduces a vulnerability.

Recommended action

No security action required. Review as normal feature code if auditing BOLT 12 implementation completeness; note that signature verification and spec compliance validation are not part of this commit.

Security signals we found
