Add reload test for stuck MPP fulfill

Add a characterization test for a claimed MPP payment whose
preimage monitor updates are only partially persisted before restart.
The test drives both channels through a held fee-update commitment
dance, claims with async monitor persistence, reloads one fresh and
one stale monitor, and verifies that we don't leave a sender-side
HTLC stuck after reconnect.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only adds a new regression test to the Lightning Dev Kit codebase. It does not change any production logic, fix a bug, or introduce a vulnerability. The test exercises a complex multi-path payment scenario across a node restart with partially persisted monitor state, verifying that HTLC fulfill messages are not left stuck after reload. It is defensive test coverage, not a security issue.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal test-coverage improvement. Reviewers may optionally confirm the test accurately models the intended crash-recovery scenario and that existing production code already handles the case correctly.

Security signals we found

01

No production code changes

02

New regression test for restart/persistence edge case

03

Test verifies stuck HTLC fulfill unblocking behavior

04

No cryptographic, network, or memory-safety changes
