chancloser: remove dead ChannelFlushed.FreshFlush field

FreshFlush is never read in any transition handler. The only
producer (peer/brontide.go) sets it unconditionally to true,
and after the previous commit removed expectChanPendingClose,
the test loops that iterated over {true, false} no longer
differentiate between the two values.

Remove the field, the unconditional assignment, and collapse
the test loops into single sub-tests.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit removes an unused data field called FreshFlush from the cooperative channel-closing logic. The field was always set to true and never actually checked by any code, so deleting it is a cleanup change with no security effect.

Recommended action

No security action needed; this is a routine refactoring/cleanup commit.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
