Add `ChannelContext::get_next_{local, remote}_commitment_stats`

In upcoming commits, these methods will serve as proxies to
`SpecTxBuilder::get_next_commitment_stats` in all validation of channel
updates in `ChannelContext`.

Eventually, these methods will completely replace
`get_pending_htlc_stats`, and
`get_next_{local, remote}_commit_tx_fee_msat`.

When predicting the HTLCs on next commitment, we take the conservative
approach and only assume that a HTLC will not be in the next commitment
when it is guaranteed that it won't be.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds four new private helper methods to the Lightning channel code. The methods are marked `#[allow(dead_code)]`, meaning they are not yet called anywhere. They are intended to replace older balance/fee estimation helpers in future commits. There is no functional change to how channels are validated today, and no security fix or vulnerability is introduced in this patch.

Recommended action

No immediate action required. Treat as routine refactoring. When the follow-up commits wire these helpers into validation paths, review the call sites for correct conservative assumptions and fee/balance consistency.
