fuzz: prepare payment failure tracking

Carry each send's minimum final CLTV expiry into payment
registration. Thread PaymentTracker through HTLC message delivery and
separate PaymentFailed from ProbeFailed dispatch.

A later invariant commit uses this context to classify failure roots.
Keeping the plumbing separate reduces its behavioral review even though
the minimum expiry remains temporarily unread.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only changes internal fuzz-testing code in rust-lightning. It adds plumbing to track the minimum final CLTV expiry for simulated payments and threads a PaymentTracker through more test helpers. The commit message explicitly says the new value is not yet used and that this is preparation for a later commit. There is no change to production Lightning logic, no fix for a vulnerability, and no security-relevant behavior change.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Treat as a normal test-infrastructure refactor. If reviewing the series, evaluate the later invariant commit that actually consumes min_final_cltv_expiry.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
