payments/migration1: freeze lnwire and record dependency

Also freeze the lnwire and record packages used by the migration.

Copy the minimal subset of lnwire files (16) into
payments/db/migration1/lnwire/ and all record files (6) into
payments/db/migration1/record/. Three lnwire files are trimmed to avoid
pulling in the full message-type dispatch tree — all changes are purely
subtractive and can be verified with:

diff lnwire/message.go payments/db/migration1/lnwire/message.go
diff lnwire/writer.go payments/db/migration1/lnwire/writer.go
diff lnwire/lnwire.go payments/db/migration1/lnwire/lnwire.go

All migration1 files now import only the frozen packages, removing the
live dependency on lnwire and record so future changes to those packages
cannot affect migration correctness.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a defensive code-hygiene change. It copies a small, frozen snapshot of two shared code packages (lnwire and record) into an old database migration folder so that future updates to the live versions of those packages cannot accidentally change how past payment data is decoded. There is no direct vulnerability being fixed; instead, the change prevents a class of future migration-correctness bugs.

Recommended action

Treat this as a hardening patch. Reviewers should verify that the copied files are byte-for-byte or subtractively identical to the originals at the commit point, especially the three trimmed files (message.go, writer.go, lnwire.go), and confirm that no live lnwire/record imports remain in migration1. No urgent deployment is required, but it should ride along with normal releases.

Security signals we found

01

Defensive dependency freezing for a database migration

02

Copied wire/record serialization code now lives under the migration package

03

No functional wire-format changes claimed; three files are explicitly subtractive trims

04

Linter exclusions added for the vendored copies
