The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new public helper method, Offer::matches_invoice_signed_by (later renamed matches_invoice_signing_pubkey), that lets callers check whether an invoice signing key belongs to the recipient named by a BOLT 12 offer. It also refactors an existing internal validation function to reuse the same logic. There is no direct bug fix or security patch in the diff; it is an API addition with tests and a changelog entry.

Recommended action

No immediate security action required. Treat as a normal API addition. Reviewers using the new Offer::matches_invoice_signing_pubkey should ensure it is used consistently with BOLT 12 semantics and not as a substitute for full invoice signature verification.
