Description

### Issue and Steps to Reproduce
From the CLN Discord server, support channel:
![image](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/assets/7445670/231fb3ba-56e7-40b5-8e86-5fb1c3fde820)

1) utxoset table is ~180MB
2) entire db is ~430MB, but this is unaccounted for in the table data somehow

This node has never been connected to any peers as far as I know, and has never had any funds in its wallet. It basically just synced the chain and I've used it for dev stuff. What on earth might we need ~180MB of utxos for?

### `getinfo` output
