multi: update neutrino dep to include chainimport and header state fix

Update the neutrino dependency to a version that includes the
chainimport package for fast initial header sync, and the
ResetHeaderState fix that allows P2P sync to continue after import.

The updated neutrino dependency changes the ChainService.Start method
signature to accept a context.Context parameter. Update all call sites
to pass context.TODO() to maintain existing behavior.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit simply updates a software library dependency (neutrino) used by the Lightning Network Daemon (LND). The new version is said to add a faster way to import blockchain headers and fix a bug that could stop peer-to-peer header syncing after an import. The actual code change shown is only a version bump in dependency files plus a tiny whitespace cleanup in a linter config. There is no direct evidence in the commit of a security vulnerability or attack.

Recommended action

Treat as a routine dependency maintenance update. Review the neutrino v0.17.1 release notes for any security advisories, but no immediate security action is warranted based solely on this commit.

01

Dependency update to a newer tagged release of neutrino

02

Commit message references a 'ResetHeaderState fix' for P2P sync continuation after chain import
