Test 0.2 -> 0.3 reload with with forward htlcs present

We have an overarching goal of (mostly) getting rid of ChannelManager
persistence and rebuilding the ChannelManager's state from existing
ChannelMonitors, due to issues when the two structs are out-of-sync on restart.
The main issue that can arise is channel force closure.

In the previous commit we started this process by rebuilding
ChannelManager::decode_update_add_htlcs, forward_htlcs, and
pending_intercepted_htlcs from the Channel data, which will soon be included in the
ChannelMonitors as part of a different series of PRs.

Here we test that HTLC forwards that were originally received on 0.2 can still
be successfully forwarded using the new reload + legacy handling code that will
be merged for 0.3.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds new automated tests to make sure that payment forwarding state created by an older version (0.2) of the Lightning Dev Kit library still works correctly after upgrading to the upcoming 0.3 version. It does not change production code and is not a security fix or vulnerability.

Recommended action

No security action required; treat as normal test-only commit during review.
