Rename `CommitmentTransaction.feerate_per_kw()`

Use `negotiated_feerate_per_kw()` to underscore that this is the feerate
we negotiated with our peer, not the actual feerate of the commitment
transaction. The feerate of the actual commitment transaction may be
higher.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a simple rename of a method from `feerate_per_kw()` to `negotiated_feerate_per_kw()` across the codebase, plus an update to its documentation. The goal is to make it clearer that the returned value is the fee rate agreed with the peer, not necessarily the actual fee rate used on-chain. There are no logic changes and no security fix.

Recommended action

No action required; this is a non-functional documentation and naming refactor.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
