Refactor missing peer/channel error from ChannelManager message handlers

We have the same error being returned from several `ChannelManager`
message handlers, so we DRY it up. Doing so also lets us get rid of the
inlined `format!` call, which for some reason prevents `rustfmt` from
formatting code around it.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a straightforward code cleanup: it replaces repeated, copy-pasted error-message strings in Lightning message handlers with two shared helper functions. The actual error behavior and the messages returned to peers are essentially unchanged (one message now also includes the channel ID, but that is a minor informational improvement). There is no security fix or vulnerability here.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Treat as normal maintenance/refactoring.
