fuzz: model chanmon mempool mining

Route chanmon broadcasts through an explicit harness mempool so relay,
mining, wallet updates, and chain delivery share one path. This lets
broadcast transactions enter the mempool before a modeled block confirms
them.

On restart, sync loaded monitors and managers from their own persisted
best blocks so raw monitors catch up without rewinding ChannelManager
state. Cap modeled mining before unresolved HTLC timeout deadlines
and use the LDK anti-reorg depth for setup confirmations.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a test-only change to the Lightning Dev Kit fuzzing harness. It improves how the fuzzer simulates Bitcoin transaction relay, mempool behavior, block mining, and node restart synchronization. It does not change production code, user-facing APIs, or real network behavior, so it does not introduce a security vulnerability in the shipped library.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal test-infrastructure improvement. Reviewers may want to verify that the new harness assertions do not mask real LDK bugs by being overly permissive, but the commit itself is defensive.

Security signals we found

01

Test-only fuzz harness refactor

02

No changes to production library code

03

Adds assertions and safety caps to prevent fuzzer from advancing chain past HTLC timeout deadlines

04

Improves fidelity of simulated mempool/chain behavior for testing
