Drive splices to completion in chanmon_consistency

This commit adds support for locking splices. This required confirming
transactions, which this target previously didn't consider.

It also fixes a `serial_id` collision, due to its generation using
the first 4 bytes of `get_secure_random_bytes`, that was preventing
splices from negotiating up to the `tx_signatures` exchange.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit updates a fuzzing test harness (chanmon_consistency) in the Lightning Dev Kit project. It adds the ability to simulate confirming splice transactions on a fake blockchain and fixes a serial ID collision in the test's random number generator. The changes are confined to test/fuzzing code and do not alter production Lightning logic.

Recommended action

No security action required. This is a test/fuzzing infrastructure change. Reviewers may verify the serial_id fix improves fuzz coverage for splice negotiation paths.
