Introduce BlindedPathParams

1. Added a new struct called `BlindedPathParams` to encapsulate multiple
   properties that define a blinded path.
2. These properties include the number of paths, the compactness of the path,
   and the number of hops.
3. This struct provides a systematic way for users to specify these properties
   before creating a blinded path, offering more flexibility and control.
4. In this version, the struct supports two properties:
   - The number of paths to generate.
   - Whether the path should be compact or not.
5. The ability to specify the number of hops will be introduced in a future update.
