docs: add release-notes to LND release 21
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only adds documentation to the release notes for LND version 0.21.0. It describes two new informational fields added to an RPC response about pending channel closures. There is no code change, no bug fix, and no security-relevant behavior change.
No action required; this is a documentation-only release-note update.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff is a nine-line addition to docs/release-notes/release-notes-0.21.0.md documenting that PendingChannels/WaitingCloseChannel now returns blocks_til_close_confirmed and close_height. These fields are informational, derived from prior reorg-safe confirmation logic. No executable code is modified.

## RPC Additions
+* The `WaitingCloseChannel` response in `PendingChannels` now includes two
+ new fields via [#10509](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/10509):
+ `blocks_til_close_confirmed`, showing the remaining confirmations until a
+ closed channel is considered fully resolved, and `close_height`, the block
+ height at which the closing transaction was first confirmed. These build on
+ the reorg-safe confirmation logic introduced in
+ [#10331](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/10331), where the
+ required number of confirmations scales with channel capacity.

* [Added support for coordinator-based MuSig2 signing
patterns](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/10436) with two new
RPCs: `MuSig2RegisterCombinedNonce` allows registering a pre-aggregated
