lnwire: add LocalNonces TLV structure and tests

This commit introduces a new TLV structure LocalNoncesData that contains
a map of transaction IDs to MuSig2 nonces. This structure enables
coordinating multiple nonces for different purposes (e.g., channel
commits, splice operations) within a single wire message.

This is a prep for upcoming spec changes to allow a party that has
in-prorgess splices to tell the remote party which nonces to use for
which splice.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new data structure and wire format for exchanging groups of cryptographic nonces used in multi-signature Lightning transactions. It is purely preparatory code: it defines how to pack and unpack the data and includes unit tests. There is no actual use of this structure in message handling yet, and nothing in the commit suggests a security bug or fix.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal feature/refactoring code. Monitor follow-up commits that wire this TLV record into channel reestablish or splice messages for potential parsing or nonce-reuse concerns.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
