htlcswitch: add new LinkFailureDisconnect action
In this commit, we add a new LinkFailureDisconnect action that'll be
used if we detect that the remote party hasn't sent a revoke and ack
when it actually should.

Before this commit, we would log our action, tear down the link, but
then not actually force a connection recycle, as we assumed that if the
TCP connection was actually stale, then the read/write timeout would
expire.

In practice this doesn't always seem to be the case, so we make a strong
action here to actually force a disconnection in hopes that either side
will reconnect and keep the good times rollin' 🕺.

# Release Notes
## Mempool Optimizations
* Optimized [mempool
management](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7681) to lower the
CPU usage.
## Misc
* [Re-encrypt/regenerate](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7705)
all macaroon DB root keys on `ChangePassword`/`GenerateNewRootKey`
respectively.
## Channel Link Bug Fix
* If we detect the remote link is inactive, [we'll now tear down the
connection](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7711) in addition to
stopping the link's statemachine. If we're persistently connected with the
peer, then this'll force a reconnect, which may restart things and help avoid
certain force close scenarios.
