bolt12: add BIP-340 message signatures

SignMessage and VerifySignature wrap btcec's Schnorr API around the
Merkle root with the spec's tagged-hash domain separator. Typed
helpers bind the construction to invoice requests and invoices, so
callers sign and verify messages rather than raw roots.

The signed vectors in signature-test.json verify the construction
against the spec, and a tamper matrix pins rejection of modified
roots, signatures, keys, and tags.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds new code for creating and checking digital signatures on BOLT 12 lightning invoices and invoice requests. It is a feature addition with extensive tests, not a fix for a known security bug. There is no evidence in the commit or supplied references that it addresses a vulnerability.

Recommended action

No security action required; review is routine code-quality/implementation-correctness. If auditing BOLT 12 support, verify that signableTLVs and merkleRoot implementations match the spec exactly and that signature tags are hard-coded correctly.

Security signals we found

01

New cryptographic signing/verification feature

02

Tagged hashing with spec-defined domain separator

03

Comprehensive test coverage including tamper matrix and nil-key guards

04

No vulnerability description or fix pattern present
