Remove use of Deref with CoinSelectionSource

Instead of using Deref in APIs using CoinSelectionSource, implement
CoinSelectionSource for any Deref with a Target that implements
CoinSelectionSource.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a code cleanup in the Lightning Dev Kit's Rust library. It changes how a wallet interface called CoinSelectionSource is used in function signatures. Instead of requiring that a wallet type be a pointer-like wrapper (Deref) around something that implements CoinSelectionSource, the commit makes CoinSelectionSource directly implementable for any pointer-like wrapper. This simplifies the API and removes an internal wrapper struct, but it does not fix a security bug or change runtime behavior in a way that would affect funds or network safety.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal API refactor. Reviewers may want to verify downstream code still compiles and that the blanket impl does not introduce ambiguity with other trait impls, but this is a type-system concern, not a security concern.
