lnwallet/chancloser: address lint and PR review feedback

Fix all lint issues across the taproot RBF coop close changes:

- Fix line length violations (ll) by wrapping long lines and adding
nolint:ll where wrapping would hurt readability.
- Fix nlreturn: add blank lines before return statements.
- Fix misspell: correct "siganture" typos.
- Fix forcetypeassert: add checked type assertions.
- Fix nonamedreturns: remove named returns from function signatures.
- Fix usetesting: replace context.Background() with t.Context().
- Fix unused: remove unused remoteSchnorrSig variable.
- Fix whitespace: add newlines after multi-line func signatures.
- Fix gocritic appendAssign warning.
- Fix gci: correct import ordering.

Also address PR review comments from @erickcestari:

- Remove nonce cache in ClosingNonce() to prevent future footguns.
- Rename extractSigAndNonce to extractSigAndNonceFromClosingSig.
- Rename extractSigAndNonceFromComplete to
extractSigAndNonceFromClosingComplete with channel type validation.
- Replace env.RemoteMusigSession \!= nil with env.IsTaproot().
- Swap manual mocks to mock.Mock in musig_nonce_order_test.go.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a follow-up cleanup patch for a larger feature adding RBF (Replace-By-Fee) cooperative channel closes for Taproot channels in LND. It contains no direct security fixes. The changes are almost entirely code-style fixes (line length, blank lines, spelling, import ordering), test-only refactors, and minor defensive tweaks such as adding checked type assertions and removing a nonce cache that could be a 'footgun' in the future. The one substantive behavior change—removing the nonce cache—is described by the author as preventing future mistakes rather than fixing an active vulnerability.

Recommended action

No urgent action required. Treat as normal code-quality follow-up. If reviewing the parent RBF coop-close feature, verify that the removed nonce cache does not leave any race or stale-nonce path unhandled, and confirm that env.IsTaproot() correctly gates all Taproot-specific logic.

Security signals we found

01

Removal of a nonce cache described as a future footgun, not an active vulnerability

02

Checked type assertions added in test mocks to avoid panic on bad casts

03

Channel-type validation consolidated behind env.IsTaproot()

04

No changes to signature verification logic or wire parsing rules
