refactor(offers): extract payer key derivation helpers

Move the invoice/refund payer key derivation logic into reusable helpers so
payer proofs can derive the same signing keys without duplicating the metadata
and signer flow.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a code cleanup (refactor) in the Lightning Dev Kit library. It moves existing payer key-derivation logic into shared helper functions so that future 'payer proof' features can reuse the same code. The change does not appear to fix a security bug; it reorganizes existing logic and adds a new public method to re-derive a payer's signing keys from invoice data. No vulnerability or exploit is described in the commit itself.

Recommended action

No immediate security action required. Treat as a normal refactor review: verify that the extracted helpers preserve the original TLV-stream filtering behavior (especially the `exclude_payer_id` flag) and that the new public API is appropriately documented and tested.

Security signals we found

01

Refactor only: moves existing key derivation/verification logic into helpers without changing algorithms

02

Adds new public API `Bolt12Invoice::derive_payer_signing_keys` for payer proof key recovery

03

No mention of vulnerability, bug, CVE, security fix, or exploit in commit title/message

04

No changes to cryptographic primitives, constants, or trust boundaries visible in the diff
