Add quiescence test of disconnecting waiting on the next step

While we have a test to disconnect a peer if we're waiting on an
`stfu` message, we also disconnect if we've reached quiescence but
we're waiting on a peer to do "something fundamental" and they take
too long to do so. We test that behavior here.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only adds a new automated test to the rust-lightning project. It does not change any production code. The test verifies that a Lightning node will disconnect a peer if the peer fails to send a required follow-up message after both sides have agreed to pause (quiesce) a channel. Because no actual behavior is modified, this commit does not introduce or fix a security vulnerability on its own.

Recommended action

No action required. Review the test for correctness if desired, but it does not alter runtime security posture.

Security signals we found

01

No production code changes

02

Purely additive test coverage

03

Tests existing disconnect-on-timeout behavior in quiescence protocol
