Drop stale DNSSec resolution logic in `OffersMessageFlow`

In 884158d0914c64df4807c394e3155646dead478d we dropped built-in
BIP 353 resolution logic in favor of the
`bitcoin-payment-instructions` crate but forgot to do so in the
`OffersMessageFlow`. Here we do so.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit removes leftover, unused code that handled DNS-based human-readable name resolution inside the BOLT12 offers message flow. The project had already switched to an external crate for this job, and this change simply cleans up the stale internal pieces that were accidentally left behind. It is a maintenance/cleanup change, not a security fix for an active vulnerability.

Recommended action

Treat as routine cleanup. Reviewers should confirm that no other modules still reference the removed `hrn_resolver`, `pending_dns_onion_messages`, `enqueue_dns_onion_message`, or `release_pending_dns_messages` symbols, and that the `dnssec` feature still compiles without these items. No security response is indicated by the diff itself.

Security signals we found

01

Removal of stale/dead code paths

02

No new input parsing or network handling introduced

03

No memory-safety, cryptographic, or authorization changes visible in diff
