Emit SplicePending event when splice funding is negotiated

Once a splice has been negotiated and its funding transaction has been
broadcast, emit a SplicePending event. Once this occurs, the inputs
contributed to the splice cannot be reused except by an RBF attempt.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new notification event, SplicePending, that tells users when a splice funding transaction has been negotiated and broadcast. It is a feature/visibility improvement rather than a fix for an active security bug. The change helps wallet developers avoid accidentally re-spending splice inputs, but it does not by itself close a vulnerability.

Recommended action

No immediate action required. Users integrating LDK should handle the new Event::SplicePending in their event loop and ensure splice inputs are not reused except for RBF. Reviewers may want to verify that the reestablishment persistence change does not introduce missed persistence edge cases.
