chanstate: make store channel types generic

Move the small value types referenced by chanstate.Store out of
channeldb. This includes ChannelConfig, ChannelStatus,
ChannelCloseSummary, ChannelShell, ChanCount, and FinalHtlcInfo. Leave
aliases in channeldb so existing callers keep compiling while the
backend still lives there.

Parameterize the Store subinterfaces over the channel type and instantiate
current callers with *channeldb.OpenChannel. This removes the chanstate
-> channeldb import edge without moving OpenChannel yet, keeping the
first step reviewable and backend-neutral.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a pure internal code reorganization. It moves several small channel-related data types (like channel configuration, status flags, close summaries, and helper types) from the channeldb package into a new chanstate package, then makes the chanstate.Store interface generic so callers can still use the existing channeldb.OpenChannel type. Existing code keeps compiling because channeldb now declares type aliases pointing to the new chanstate definitions. There are no behavior changes, no bug fixes, and no security-relevant logic changes.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal refactoring review; verify that type aliases preserve API compatibility and that the new generic interface constraints compile across all callers.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
