Move `ChannelManager::default_configuration` behind a `RwLock`

In the next commit we'll add the ability to update the default
configuration used for new channels and which controls some global
decisions in the `ChannelManager`. However, first, we have to put
it behind a mutex so that it can be updated at runtime, which we do
here.

We also take this opportunity to rename `default_configuration` to
simply `config`, since it has been more than only the default
configuration for new channels for some time.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a straightforward internal refactor: it wraps a shared configuration object in a read-write lock and renames a field from `default_configuration` to `config`. There is no security fix here and no exploitable weakness introduced in the diff itself. It is preparation for a future feature that will allow runtime updates to the configuration.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal code maintenance. Review the follow-up commit that adds runtime mutation of the configuration for any concurrency or security implications.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
