Allow passing an `OutputSweeperSync` to the sync-KVStore-async-BP

`OutputSweeper::new_with_kv_store_sync` is a pretty strange API -
it allows building an async `OutputSweeper` where the only `await`s
are on a sync `KVStore`, ie will immediately block until the IO
operation completes.

While this isn't broken (futures are allowed to take their time,
and async runtimes have to handle this, though they often don't
handle it particularly well), its pretty weird. It seems to exist
largely for `process_events_async_with_kv_store_sync`, which does
async `Event` handling but sync `KVStore` operations (like the
existing pre-0.2 "async" background processor).

Instead, we allow passing an `OutputSweeperSync` to
`process_events_async_with_kv_store_sync`, keeping the API
consistent such that a user would use the appropriate
`OutputSweeper` variant, but fetching the inner async
`OutputSweeper` inside the BP.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a code cleanup in the Lightning Dev Kit Rust library. It removes an awkward API that mixed synchronous storage with an asynchronous sweeper component, and instead lets callers pass a fully synchronous sweeper where synchronous storage is expected. There is no direct security vulnerability being fixed; it is an API-consistency and maintainability change.

Recommended action

No immediate security action required. Treat as a normal API refactor; downstream users relying on OutputSweeper::new_with_kv_store_sync or read_with_kv_store_sync will need to migrate to OutputSweeperSync.

Security signals we found

01

No memory-safety, cryptographic, or authorization issues visible in the diff

02

Change reduces API surface that could be misused to create blocking async futures unexpectedly

03

No input validation, parsing, or serialization changes that would introduce vulnerabilities

04

No changes to secrets, key handling, or transaction signing logic
