contracourt: rename broadcastHeight to confirmHeight

The broadcastHeight was misleading because the commit resolver
is only created when the commitment transaction is confirmed.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a simple variable rename from broadcastHeight to confirmHeight, plus updated comments, in the Lightning Network Daemon (LND) contract court code. It does not change any program logic, behavior, or security properties. The rename makes the code easier to understand because the value actually stores the block height at which the commitment transaction was confirmed, not the height it was broadcast.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Treat as a normal code-quality/refactoring change.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
