rpcserver: wire ForwardingLog into router backend

In this commit, we pass the node's ForwardingLog into the RouterBackend
alongside the MinFwdHistoryAge configuration value, completing the
dependency injection chain from the RPC handler down to the database
layer.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a routine plumbing change: it wires a new configuration option (fwd-history-delete-batch-size) through LND's RPC server so operators can tune how many forwarding history records are deleted in each database batch. It does not fix a vulnerability or change any security boundary; it simply exposes an existing internal batch size as a user-configurable setting and adds a startup warning if the value is set too high.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal feature/configuration commit. Operators may review the new fwd-history-delete-batch-size option if they run resource-constrained nodes and use DeleteForwardingHistory.

Security signals we found

01

No security-relevant behavior change: only a tunable batch size is exposed

02

Adds a startup clamp/warning for values exceeding MaxResponseEvents, which is a defensive configuration guard

03

No new RPC permissions, authentication, or authorization changes

04

No memory safety, cryptographic, or consensus changes
