Remove duplicate TxOut persistence

Now that ConstructedTransaction holds the actual Transaction, there's no
need to keep track of and persist the outputs separately. However, the
serial IDs are still needed to later reconstruct which outputs were
contributed.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a code cleanup: it stops saving duplicate copies of Bitcoin transaction outputs (TxOuts) because the transaction itself already stores them. It keeps only the small pieces of metadata needed to remember which outputs belong to which party. There is no obvious security bug being fixed here, but the change touches serialization formats and how a Lightning channel identifies its funding output, so it has some security-adjacent relevance.

Recommended action

Treat as a normal refactor commit. Reviewers should verify that output ordering and serial_id metadata are preserved correctly across serialization round-trips, and that funding-output matching remains deterministic. No immediate security response appears necessary.

Security signals we found

01

Removes redundant persisted transaction-output data, reducing attack surface for state desynchronization

02

Changes serialization schema for ConstructedTransaction (TLV field 5 now stores TxOutMetadata instead of InteractiveTxOutput)

03

Funding-output identification now uses the canonical Transaction outputs rather than a parallel cached list

04

No explicit vulnerability, CVE, or security fix described in commit message
