sign_tx: split out updating output info from validating it

Removes some confusion from having validation change the data, but
primarily this will allow psbt signing to share the output validation
code without using the commitment update code (since pset commitments
are validated already during parsing and not passed separately like the
sign_tx case).

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a code cleanup in the transaction signing logic for Blockstream Jade hardware wallets. It splits one function into two: one that gathers output information and another that validates it. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this fixes a security vulnerability; it appears to be a refactoring to make the code clearer and to allow future reuse in PSBT signing.

Recommended action

No immediate action required. Treat as routine refactoring. If this commit is part of a larger security fix, review adjacent commits in the same release branch for related hardening changes.

Security signals we found

01

Refactoring of validation logic with no change to underlying checks

02

Separation of data mutation from validation (defensive coding improvement)

03

No new bounds checks, cryptographic operations, or permission changes introduced
