Expose async offer cache API to OffersMessageFlow users

We want the OffersMessageFlow to be usable by non-ChannelManager users, so
expose the required methods to enable that. Also a few corresponding docs
tweaks.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit widens the visibility of several internal Lightning payment-offer APIs from crate-internal to public. It is a routine API exposure change so that non-ChannelManager users can reuse the async-payment offer flow. There is no direct security bug in the diff, but making previously internal state-management methods public slightly enlarges the attack surface and places more responsibility on callers to persist state correctly.

Recommended action

Treat as a normal API-expansion commit. Reviewers of downstream consumers should verify that callers persist the async receive offer cache when instructed and do not bypass intended state-management invariants. No immediate security patch is required.

Security signals we found

01

API visibility widened from pub(crate) to pub for offer-cache management

02

New public module exposure: async_receive_offer_cache

03

Documentation updated to emphasize required persistence of async receive offer cache

04

No new unsafe code, cryptographic changes, or input-validation changes observed
