chanstate: use channel types in backups

Move static channel backup construction to chanstate channel types.

The package still imports channeldb where it uses real database
concerns, including address sourcing and duplicate-channel recovery.
The backup payload and live-channel source boundaries no longer depend
on the channeldb compatibility aliases.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a routine internal code cleanup in LND's channel backup system. It replaces references to the older `channeldb` package with a newer `chanstate` package for channel type definitions. The actual backup data, encryption, and recovery logic are unchanged. There is no indication this fixes a security bug or introduces a vulnerability.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal refactoring. Reviewers may optionally verify that `chanstate` types are binary/field-compatible with the prior `channeldb` aliases to avoid backup format regressions, though the diff shows no serialization changes.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
