lnwire: update AnnounceSigs2 to use pure TLV

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit refactors how one Lightning network message type (AnnounceSignatures2) is encoded and decoded, switching it from a fixed-field format to a more flexible Type-Length-Value (TLV) format. The change is primarily a code modernization and protocol-alignment refactor. There is no direct evidence in the commit or supplied references that this fixes an active security vulnerability.

Recommended action

Treat as a normal code review item. Verify that the new TLV encoding preserves all previously signed bytes exactly and that signature validation still covers the full signed TLV range. No urgent security action is indicated by the supplied materials.

Security signals we found

01

Refactor of wire protocol encoding/decoding for a P2P message

02

Preservation of unknown fields in signed TLV ranges for signature validation

03

No explicit security bug, CVE, or vulnerability described in commit message or diff

04

No bounds-check, memory-safety, or cryptographic bug visible in the diff
