graph/db+sqldb: make channel SQL mig retry-safe

In this commit, we make the channel part of the graph SQL migration
idempotent (retry-safe!). We do this by adding a migration-only channel
insert query that will not error out if a the query is called and a
chanenl with the given scid&version already exists. We also ensure that
errors are not thrown if existing channel features & extra types are
re-added.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit fixes a database migration bug in LND's move to a SQL-backed channel graph. Previously, if the migration was interrupted and retried, re-inserting a channel that had already been migrated would cause a duplicate-key error and abort the upgrade. The patch makes the channel-insert step idempotent: re-inserting the same channel now updates the existing row instead of failing, and re-adding features or extra TLV fields is also handled gracefully. It is a robustness fix for a one-time upgrade path, not a remotely exploitable vulnerability.

Recommended action

Treat as a normal bug-fix / reliability patch. Include in release notes as a migration robustness improvement. No special security response required, but users upgrading through the SQL graph migration should run a version containing this fix to avoid migration failures on retry.
