This PR improves the routing error returned when attempting to pay a blinded (private) recipient and no route can be found. For
Payee::Blinded, there is no public node ID or public graph path to the destination, meaning blinded path route hints are the only way to reach the payee. Previously, exhausting all provided blinded path hints resulted in the generic error “Failed to find a path to the given destination,” which is misleading. This change returns a more specific error indicating that all blinded path route hints were exhausted, while leaving behavior unchanged forPayee::Clear, where routing may still succeed via the public network graph even if route hints fail.Closes: #4308
