graph/db+sqldb: use batch fetching during channel&policy migration

Restructue the `migrateChannelsAndPolicies` function so that it does the
validation of migrated channels and policies in batches. So instead of
fetching channel and its policies individually after migrating it, we
wait for a minimum batch size to be reached and then validate a batch of
them together. This lets us make way fewer DB round trips.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a performance optimization for LND's database migration from the older key-value store to the new SQL store. It changes how channel and routing-policy records are verified after being copied: instead of reading back each channel one at a time, the code now collects a batch and reads them together. There is no security fix here and no indication it closes a vulnerability; it is purely about reducing database round trips during an upgrade.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal performance/refactor commit. If deploying, verify migration correctness through existing tests, especially for nodes with large channel graphs, because the change alters the validation path.

Security signals we found

01

No security-relevant keywords in commit title or message
