Add `TxBuilder::get_next_commitment_stats`

Given a snapshot of the lightning state machine,
`TxBuilder::get_next_commitment_stats` calculates the transaction fees,
the dust exposure, and the holder and counterparty balances
(the balances themselves do *not* account for the transaction fee).

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new internal helper method that estimates the fees, dust exposure, and balances for a future Lightning channel commitment transaction. It does not change any existing behavior or fix a known bug; it appears to be preparatory/refactoring work to support future channel-fee logic. There is no indication in the commit that it addresses a security vulnerability.

Recommended action

No immediate action required. Treat as normal feature/refactoring commit. Reviewers may want to verify the dust-exposure arithmetic and checked-subtraction logic when this helper is later wired into channel state-machine decisions.

Security signals we found

01

New internal API for commitment transaction fee/dust accounting

02

Use of checked_sub to avoid panics on balance underflow

03

Dust exposure buffer uses feerate + 10 sat/vB or +25%, whichever is higher

04

Visibility change of second_stage_tx_fees_sat from pub(super) to pub(crate)

05

Parameter rename for consistency (broadcaster_dust_limit_sat -> broadcaster_dust_limit_satoshis)
