onionmessage: add LRU cache to SCID resolver

Add an LRU cache to GraphNodeResolver to avoid repeated database lookups
when resolving SCIDs to node public keys. The cache stores up to 1000
compressed pubkey entries, which is sufficient for typical onion message
forwarding scenarios.

This change also introduces a NewGraphNodeResolver constructor to
properly initialize the cache, replacing direct struct literal usage.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a small in-memory cache to speed up repeated lookups of which node public key belongs to a given short channel ID (SCID). It is a performance optimization, not a security fix. There is no evidence in the commit or supplied references that it addresses a vulnerability.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal performance/refactoring change. If reviewing for defense in depth, verify that the LRU cache library (github.com/lightninglabs/neutrino/cache/lru) is thread-safe and that cached public keys are immutable, but the commit itself does not introduce a known security issue.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
