chanstate: use channel type in lnpeer
Move lnpeer.NewChannel to embed chanstate.OpenChannel.
This keeps the peer-facing channel event type independent of the
channeldb compatibility alias while preserving the existing embedded
OpenChannel field shape for callers.
What changed, and why it matters
This is a small internal code cleanup change. It swaps one internal type reference (channeldb.OpenChannel) for another internal type reference (chanstate.OpenChannel) inside a peer-related data structure. The commit message says the goal is to keep the peer-facing type independent from a compatibility alias while keeping the same field layout for existing callers. There is no security-relevant behavior change visible in the diff.
No security action needed. Treat as routine refactoring.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The commit modifies lnpeer/peer.go to import the chanstate package instead of channeldb and changes the embedded type in NewChannel from channeldb.OpenChannel to chanstate.OpenChannel. The commit message explains this is a refactoring to decouple lnpeer from the channeldb compatibility alias. No functional logic, validation, cryptography, or network handling is changed.
