Remove create_compact_blinded_paths

1. The `params` parameter now allows specifying the type of blinded
   path to be created, enabling a single function to handle the processing
   for both compact and full-length blinded paths.
2. This change renders the `create_compact_blinded_paths` function redundant,
   leading to its removal.
3. With this commit, the blinded path creation process is streamlined to
   a single function capable of creating any type of blinded path.
