Deterministic reconstruct_manager option in tests

We recently merged (test-only, for now) support for the ChannelManager
reconstructing its set of pending HTLCs from Channel{Monitor} data, rather than
using its own persisted maps. But because we want test coverage of both the new
reconstruction codepaths as well as the old persisted map codepaths,
in tests we would decide between those two sets of codepaths randomly.

We now want to add some tests that require using the new codepaths, so here we
add an option to explicitly set whether to reconstruct or not rather than
choosing randomly.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a test-only change. It adds a new option that lets tests explicitly choose whether Lightning Dev Kit's ChannelManager rebuilds its pending payment state from ChannelMonitor data, instead of leaving it up to random chance. There is no change to production code behavior and no security issue.

Recommended action

No security action required. This is a benign test-infrastructure change.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
