Add schema definitions for the documented native notifications which were
still only described in prose.

This makes the notification payloads available in doc/schemas so msggen can
consume them in later commits, while keeping this commit schema-only.

The balance_snapshot schema follows the current implementation shape:
the notification wrapper contains a single balance_snapshot object whose
accounts field is an array of account snapshots.
Add schema files for the documented xpay notifications using the temporary
flat naming convention.

These topics are plugin-emitted rather than native lightningd notifications,
so keep them separate from msggen generation for now while still recording
their subscriber-visible payload shape in doc/schemas.
Expand the native notification list consumed by msggen and regenerate the Rust and gRPC outputs for the documented notification schemas.

This wires the new schema-backed native notifications through cln-rpc, cln-grpc, and the bundled msggen schema metadata. Keep the temporary xpay-prefixed plugin notifications out of generation for now.

coin_movement.extra_tags remains a repeated string in the generated gRPC surface for now because msggen does not currently emit enums nested under repeated array items correctly.

Changelog-Changed: cln-rpc and cln-grpc now expose notification bindings for balance_snapshot, coin_movement, deprecated_oneshot, disconnect, forward_event, invoice_creation, invoice_payment, log, onionmessage_forward_fail, openchannel_peer_sigs, plugin_started, plugin_stopped, sendpay_failure, sendpay_success, shutdown, and warning.
Treat xpay as a built-in plugin for notification generation and include its documented notification schemas in the msggen output.

This extends the generated cln-rpc and cln-grpc notification surfaces with the flat xpay schema files, while exposing the actual notification names `pay_part_start` and `pay_part_end` in generated APIs.

Changelog-Changed: cln-rpc and cln-grpc now expose xpay notification bindings for `pay_part_start` and `pay_part_end`.
Bump the Rust binding crates after adding new notification bindings, and roll pyln-grpc-proto because the published grpc surface changed with the regenerated node.proto.

cln-plugin is unchanged because this branch does not alter its public API.

Changelog-Changed: cln-rpc 0.5.1, cln-grpc 0.5.1, and pyln-grpc-proto 25.12 include the new notification bindings added in this series.
