This PR updates to the latest lightning-kmp snapshot version, which brings taproot channels into Phoenix, as well as other fixes and improvements.

Notable PRs:

funding and closing transactions become cheaper (by about 15%)
on-chain footprint becomes more private: funding and closing transactions are impossible to distinguish from other p2tr transactions.

Notes:

  • For additional details about taproot channels, see extension-bolt: simple taproot channels (feature 80/81) lightning/bolts#995.
  • no specific code was needed in Phoenix to support taproot channels, the work has already been done in lightning-kmp. Most of the code changes in this PR come from various refactoring, fixes, an upgrade to the kotlin version, and code cleanup.
  • support for legacy channel data import has been removed from lightning-kmp and consequently, the import channel data screens must be removed from Phoenix.
  • he spend-from-channel-address screen does not work anymore with taproot channels so this screen is disabled for the time being.

Update to lightning-kmp taproot-channel version
28cf92e 
This version also updates kotlin and cleans up legacy code.

Notably, the tools for the legacy channel data backup have been
removed, and the import-channel-data helper can be removed.

The spend-from-channel-address helper has been commented out as
it is not ready with taproot-channels yet.

Looks like we were already doing this on iOS:
