Allow setting an HRN in invoice_requests built by `pay_for_offer`

If a user did their own BIP 353 lookup to fetch an offer from a
human readable name, we still want them to be able to use
`ChannelManager::pay_for_offer`.

Because BIP 353 offer payments require that the `invoice_request`
include the human readable name, we need to add an argument to set
the `invoice_request` HRN to `pay_for_offer`, which we do here.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new public method, pay_for_offer_from_hrn, to ChannelManager so that users who looked up a Lightning offer via a human-readable name (BIP 353) can still pay it through the existing pay_for_offer machinery. The change is a feature addition: it threads the human-readable name into the invoice_request so the payment follows the BIP 353 protocol. There is no security bug being fixed here.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal API/feature change.
