Refactor payment_hash to return PaymentHash

This commit fixes the payment_hash function of Bolt11Invoice to return a
PaymentHash type instead of a sha256 byte stream. Code and test files dependent
on this function have also been modified to adhere to the updated
changes.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a routine code cleanup that changes how a BOLT 11 invoice exposes its payment hash. Previously the function returned a raw SHA-256 hash object; now it returns a typed PaymentHash wrapper. All callers are updated to use the new type. There is no security bug being fixed here and no behavior change to the Lightning protocol logic.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal API refactor. Downstream users updating to this commit should adjust any code that called invoice.payment_hash() and expected a &sha256::Hash or manually wrapped it into PaymentHash.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
