multi: migrate to btcd v2 modules
Update LND, Aperture, and Taproot Assets to revisions using the
btcd v2 modules, and update lndclient to v0.21.0-3. Migrate Loop
chain, transaction, and address types to their corresponding v2
packages.

The lndclient release includes the migration from:
https://github.com/lightninglabs/lndclient/pull/280

Taproot Assets is temporarily replaced with its btcd v2 revision
because the v0.8 release branch has not adopted the new modules.

This raises the minimum Go version to 1.26 and changes exported
address types.

# Loop Client Release Notes
#### New Features
#### Breaking Changes
* Loop now uses the btcd v2 modules and requires Go 1.26. Projects compiling
against Loop's exported Go APIs must migrate address, transaction, and
related types to the corresponding btcd v2 packages.
* Instant Out and reservation RPCs now require the `loop:out` permission.
Operators using custom scoped macaroons must rebake them before calling
`ListReservations`, `InstantOut`, `InstantOutQuote`, or `ListInstantOuts`.
[PR #1194](https://github.com/lightninglabs/loop/pull/1194)
#### Bug Fixes
* Loop Out requests now account for channel reserves when checking outbound
capacity, preventing swaps from starting when their off-chain payment cannot
be funded.
* Improved Instant Out and reservation validation, lifecycle cleanup, recovery
timing, fee limits, and macaroon permissions.
[PR #1194](https://github.com/lightninglabs/loop/pull/1194)
* Taproot Asset Loop Out handling now validates RFQ timeouts and asset rates,
keeps cached asset-name lookups responsive during slow `tapd` queries, and
closes `tapd` connections cleanly during shutdown and startup failures.
[PR #1189](https://github.com/lightninglabs/loop/pull/1189)
#### Maintenance
* Added a CI gate and repository agent guidance requiring every pull request to
include a non-empty entry in the next release notes unless it carries the
`no-changelog` label.
