ln/refactor: remove claimable htlc from fail_htlc macro

In the commit that follows we're going to need to take ownership
of our htlc before this macro is used, so we pull out the information
we need in advance.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a pure internal code cleanup in the Lightning payment handling logic. It moves some data preparation earlier in the code and simplifies a helper macro so that a later commit can take ownership of an HTLC (a payment packet) before the macro is called. There is no functional change to how payments are accepted or rejected, and no security bug is fixed or introduced here.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Treat as a normal refactoring commit. Review the following commit in the series for actual functional or security relevance.

Security signals we found
