How would this work with watchtowers?

As I understand it, the current plan for eltoo watchtowers would be to store both `SIGHASH_NOINPUT` signatures from both sides in the blob sent to the watchtower.

Then the watchtower can always attach this to whatever is the tipmost available on the chain of transactions.

However, if one of the signatures MUST be non-`SIGHASH_NOINPUT` --- how does the watchtower create such a non-`SIGHASH_NOINPUT` signature?
