blinded_path/refactor: make construction generic over forwarding type

To use helper functions for either trampoline or regular paths.
We only want to support trampoline and regular blinded paths, so we
don't want to support implementation outside of this crate. We need
the trait itself to be public as it's part of a public struct, so we
use a sealed trait to disallow external implementation.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a routine internal code cleanup in the rust-lightning library. It makes the construction of blinded payment paths generic so the same helper functions can be used for both regular Lightning paths and newer 'trampoline' paths. It does not change any security behavior, fix a bug, or alter how data is validated. The change is purely about organizing the code more cleanly.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Review as normal code-quality refactor if desired.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
