Refresh async offers on set_inv_server_paths

On startup, we want the async recipient to be set up with async receive offers
as soon as possible. Therefore, attempt to send out initial
offer_paths_requests as soon as the recipient is configured with blinded paths
to connect to the static invoice server.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit changes how a Lightning node sets up 'async receive' offers. Previously, the node only asked the static invoice server to create offers during periodic timer ticks. Now it also sends that request immediately when the user configures the invoice server paths. This is a functional/availability improvement to make async receiving ready sooner after startup, not a fix for an exploitable vulnerability. There is no evidence in the commit of a security bug being patched.

Recommended action

Review as a normal functional improvement. No security patch or incident response is indicated by the commit content. If deploying, verify that immediate offer-paths requests do not cause unwanted startup noise or duplicate requests in your environment.

Security signals we found

01

Behavioral change in async payment offer setup timing

02

Refactoring of refresh logic into a separate helper

03

New test assertions that outbound onion messages are produced immediately after configuration

04

No input validation, cryptographic, or memory-safety changes visible
