tor: use latest btcd
✓ Subject identifies a change! No meaningful explanatory body
The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit updates the software's dependency list for the Tor-related sub-package, bumping the btcd library from version 0.24.2 to a newer pre-release (0.26.0-beta.rc1) along with several supporting libraries. There are no actual code changes shown—only the files that record which library versions are used. Because the commit message says only 'use latest btcd' and no security issue is described, this looks like a routine dependency refresh rather than a confirmed security fix. However, dependency updates can sometimes include security patches from the upstream libraries, so it is worth monitoring the release notes for btcd and the related Go packages.

Recommended action

Treat this as a routine dependency update unless additional vendor or upstream release notes identify a specific security fix. Review the btcd v0.26.0-beta.rc1 release notes and the golang.org/x/net and golang.org/x/crypto release notes for any disclosed vulnerabilities. If running LND, plan to adopt the release containing this commit after normal testing. No immediate emergency action is warranted based solely on this diff.
