lnrpc+rpcserver: add new info to WaitingCloseChannel

Add a new fields blocks_til_closed and close_height to the
WaitingCloseChannel message in PendingChannels RPC response.
This shows users how many more blocks until the waiting close
channel will be fully closed and removed.

The required confirmations are determined by CloseConfsForCapacity which
scales based on channel capacity for reorg safety. If the close tx is
not yet confirmed, the full required confirmations are shown.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds two new informational fields to the PendingChannels RPC response in the LND Lightning node: one showing how many more blocks until a waiting close channel is considered final, and another showing the block height when the closing transaction was first confirmed. It is a user-facing informational enhancement, not a security fix or vulnerability.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal feature/API enhancement during routine review.

Security signals we found
