Refactor `BroadcasterInterface` to include `TransactionType`

Add a `TransactionType` enum to provide context about the type of
transaction being broadcast. This information can be useful for
logging, filtering, or prioritization purposes.

The `TransactionType` variants are:
- `Funding`: A funding transaction establishing a new channel
- `CooperativeClose`: A cooperative close transaction
- `UnilateralClose`: A force-close transaction
- `AnchorBump`: An anchor transaction for CPFP fee-bumping
- `Claim`: A transaction claiming outputs from commitment tx
- `Sweep`: A transaction sweeping spendable outputs to wallet

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a straightforward API refactor: it adds a TransactionType label (Funding, Close, Claim, Sweep, etc.) to every place in the Lightning Dev Kit that broadcasts a Bitcoin transaction. The actual transactions being broadcast do not change; only the metadata passed alongside them changes. There is no security vulnerability being fixed or introduced here.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal API-breaking change: downstream implementers of BroadcasterInterface must update their method signature to accept the new TransactionType tuple.

Security signals we found

01

API-only refactor with no change to transaction construction, signing, or validation

02

All broadcast call sites updated consistently to include TransactionType metadata

03

No new cryptographic operations, no new network inputs, no new permissions

04

No mention of security fixes, CVEs, or vulnerability disclosures in commit message
