autopilot: pass pubkey in channel traversal

ForEachNodesChannels is a topology traversal: its callers only need
the node identity plus channel edges. After removing address loading
from ForEachNodeCached, constructing a Node for this callback is
misleading because Addrs is either unused or empty.

Pass NodeID directly through the interface and update the scoring
and simple graph callers to use that pubkey. This keeps the
address-bearing Node interface on ForEachNode, where autopilot
gathers connectable candidates and their addresses before dialing.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a routine internal code cleanup in LND's autopilot (automatic channel-opening assistant). It changes a callback to pass a node public key directly instead of wrapping it in a full Node object, and skips nodes with no channels during graph traversal. There is no security fix or externally visible behavior change.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal refactoring/technical-debt cleanup during code review.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
