Split method to reconstruct pending HTLCs into two

In the next commit, we want to dedup fields between the
InboundUpdateAdd::Forwarded's HTLCPreviousHopData and the outer
InboundHTLCOutput/Channel structs, since many fields are duplicated in both
places at the moment. As part of doing this cleanly, we first refactor the
method that retrieves these InboundUpdateAdds for reconstructing the set of
pending HTLCs during ChannelManager deconstruction.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a straightforward internal code refactor in the Lightning Dev Kit (LDK) library. It splits one method into three smaller, more focused methods and changes how pending payment forwarding data is organized. There is no new security vulnerability introduced; the change is preparation for a future cleanup of duplicated data fields.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal code maintenance; review the subsequent commit that deduplicates HTLC fields for any security implications.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
