Remove APIs to create static invoice/async offers

Now that we've implemented the static invoice server protocol, these methods
are not intended to ever be called by users. If someone did want to use these
apis, they could use the equivalent methods on the OffersMessageFlow.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit removes two public programming interfaces (APIs) from the Lightning Dev Kit library that let users manually create special Bitcoin Lightning offers and invoices for async/offline payments. The library now wants users to rely on a newer automated server-based protocol instead. The change is a routine API cleanup, not a security fix.

Recommended action

No security action required. Developers using the removed public APIs should migrate to the static invoice server protocol (`set_paths_to_static_invoice_server` / `get_async_receive_offer`) or use the lower-level `OffersMessageFlow` equivalents if they need manual control.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
