payments/migration1: freeze core payment code

Copy the core payments/db code into payments/db/migration1 and
add the required sqlc-generated types/queries from sqldb/sqlc.
This effectively freezes the migration code so it stays robust
against future query or schema changes in the main payments package.

Replace the delegation to channeldb.ReadElement/WriteElement with
self-contained, frozen implementations that only handle the exact types
required by this migration package. This removes the dependency on the
live channeldb codec so that future changes to channeldb serialization
cannot silently corrupt or break the migration.

UnknownElementType is also defined locally for the same reason.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a defensive code-freeze: it copies the core payment database logic into a dedicated migration1 package so that future changes to the main payments code or serialization format cannot accidentally break or corrupt old payment data during upgrades. It is a hardening/refactoring change, not an active vulnerability fix, and it reduces the risk of migration bugs rather than introducing new exploit paths.

Recommended action

Review the frozen codec to confirm it exactly matches the historical channeldb serialization for the supported types, and ensure the migration package is only used for the intended migration. No urgent deployment action is required; treat as routine hardening.

Security signals we found

01

Defensive isolation of migration code from future serialization changes

02

Frozen local codec replacing live channeldb.ReadElement/WriteElement dependency

03

Large code duplication (+7992 lines) to preserve exact migration behavior

04

No functional changes to live payment logic; only migration package added
