Summary

Spliced channels can cause real SCIDs to change unexpectedly, which breaks the
assumption that they are more stable than SCID aliases. This PR corrects the
outbound payment SCID selection logic to reflect this reality.

Details

ChannelDetails::get_outbound_payment_scid now prefers SCID aliases.

This aligns outbound routing with current splicing behavior.

Tests that depended on the old assumption were updated accordingly.

Closes: #4249

@TheBlueMatt, please, are all the checks needed to pass before my work gets reviewed?. Just asking, because while the checks are happening, maybe a new commit is added to main that causes a conflict, and before you know it, my check here is failing.

I think there is some independent refactoring/correctness improvement here that could go in a separate commit?

The commit that makes the actual change can then also contain the test changes/additions that it requires.
