Add `invalid_token_provided` API method

We add a method that allows the LSP to signal to the client the token
they used was invalid.

We use the `102` error code as proposed in
https://github.com/lightning/blips/pull/68.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new API method called invalid_token_provided to the LSPS1 (Liquidity Service Provider Specification 1) service handler in rust-lightning. It lets a Lightning Service Provider (LSP) tell a client that the token they used to request a channel is invalid or stale, using error code 102 as proposed in a community draft. The change also removes an unused token field from the service configuration struct. There is no direct security vulnerability here; it is a protocol/API improvement that makes error handling clearer and removes dead configuration.

Recommended action

No security action required. Reviewers may want to confirm that removing LSPS1ServiceConfig::token does not break downstream consumers and that the new invalid_token_provided API is documented in release notes as an API addition.
