go.mod: update btcec dep

To include the update to the musig2 Session which allows the aggregate

individual nonces to be registered.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit simply bumps a dependency version in LND's module files (go.mod and go.sum) from btcec v2.3.4 to v2.3.6. The commit message says the new version lets MuSig2 sessions register an aggregate nonce rather than individual nonces. There is no code change in LND itself, and no security relevance is stated by the project. Without inspecting the actual changes inside the btcec library, we cannot determine whether this update fixes a security bug or is just a routine feature/API improvement.

Recommended action

Review the upstream btcec v2.3.5 and v2.3.6 release notes or changelog to determine whether this bump addresses any security fixes. If it fixes a signing-related vulnerability, update promptly and assess whether LND's MuSig2 usage is affected. Otherwise treat as a normal dependency maintenance update.

Security signals we found

01

Dependency version bump for a cryptographic library (btcec) used in Bitcoin/Lightning signing operations

02

Commit message references MuSig2 nonce handling, which is security-sensitive in multi-signature protocols

03

No explicit security claim, CVE, advisory, or vulnerability description in the commit or supplied references
