Trivially replace `Box::pin` with `pin!` in a few places

Now that our MSRV is above 1.68 we can use the `pin!` macro to
avoid having to `Box` various futures, avoiding some allocations,
especially in `lightning-net-tokio`, which happens in a tight loop.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a routine code cleanup that swaps one Rust standard-library mechanism for pinning futures (`Box::pin`) with a newer, allocation-free equivalent (`pin!`). It removes heap allocations in a few internal loops and sync wrappers, but does not change program logic, trust boundaries, or behavior. There is no security relevance.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal performance/refactoring commit.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
