Bump MSRV to rustc 1.75.0

We generally align our MSRV with Debian's stable channel. Debian 13
'Trixie' was just released, shipping rustc 1.85. However, as 1.85.0 is
only about ~7months old at this point, we opt to bump to the more
conservative 1.75.0, which approaches two years of age.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit raises the Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV) from 1.63.0 to 1.75.0 for the rust-lightning project. It updates CI configuration, documentation, linting rules, and dependency pinning scripts. It also replaces older Rust idioms with newer, cleaner equivalents (such as using div_ceil and is_some_and methods) that require the newer compiler version. There is no security fix or vulnerability being patched here.

Recommended action

No security action required. Downstream users building from source should ensure their Rust toolchain is at least 1.75.0. Distributors and package maintainers should update build requirements accordingly.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
