Add PRNG to `MerkleBlock` tests

This is a PRNG that can replace the dependency on `rand` in
this unit test. Even if this test failed in CI, I'm not sure how we
would actually reproduce it. The current state of the test seems more
apt for a fuzzing target where there is tooling to log and reproduce
failing cases. This would allow for determinism in the test and could be
used as a sanity check when making changes to `MerkleBlock`

This commit only changes test code. It replaces the use of an external random number generator (from the `rand` crate) with a small, deterministic pseudo-random number generator inside the `MerkleBlock` unit tests. The goal is to make the tests reproducible and remove a test-only dependency on the `rand` feature. There is no change to production code and no security vulnerability is introduced or fixed.

This commit is a documentation and test fix, not a security patch. It adds a comment explaining that an 'empty coinbase' helper produces a 0-byte scriptSig that is technically invalid under Bitcoin consensus rules (which require 2-100 bytes), but is kept for backward compatibility in PSBT workflows where the scriptSig is filled in later. It also re-enables and updates a previously ignored unit test to use a valid 2-byte coinbase scriptSig.

This commit adds a missing validation rule to the library's Bitcoin transaction decoder: a coinbase transaction (the special first transaction in a block that creates new coins) must have an input script between 2 and 100 bytes long. Before this change, the library would accept shorter or longer coinbase scripts, which violates Bitcoin consensus rules and could let malformed transactions slip through. The fix rejects them with clear errors and includes tests for the boundary cases.

benches: Add block decode and validate benchmarks

Add benchmarks for:
- Decoding blocks with N transactions
- Decoding then converting from unchecked to checked (validate)

This helps us decide whether adding duplicate-input-check in
TransactionDecoder::end() is worth the cost (see discussion in #5441)

Note: To know the actual overhead, we need to run these benchmarks with
and without the duplicate input check and compare before/after results,
since the check is embedded in the decoder and cannot be benchmarked in isolation.

io: Bump version to 0.4.0-rc.0

We updated a bunch of dependencies and forgot to re-release
`bitcoin-io`. And this is breaking the attempt at releasing `bitcoin
0.33.0-beta.0`.

Use RC because we have a dependency on `consensus_encoding` RC release
that uses the `=` syntax to pin the exact version. Therefore everytime
we do a new RC release of that crate we have to do `io` as well.

In preparation for release bump the version, add a changelog entry,
and update the lockfiles. Also update the version everywhere `io` is
used as a dependency including adding an explicit version number to
`p2p` (which will be needed to release it).

This commit adds a safety check in the Rust Bitcoin library's transaction decoder. It ensures that any transaction with more than one input cannot contain a 'coinbase-style' empty previous transaction reference. Such a reference is only allowed in the special coinbase transaction that creates new coins. Without this check, a malformed or malicious transaction could slip through and potentially cause incorrect behavior in software using this library to parse Bitcoin transactions.

Fix decoder bug when ending before decoding prefix

Before this fix, calling `ByteVecDecoder.end()` on a decoder that hadn't
finished reading in the full prefix would result in a valid result of an
empty vec. This should instead result in an error, since the decoder
shouldn't be able to decode something with an incomplete prefix.

This commit fixes a bug in a Bitcoin data decoder. Previously, if you stopped decoding early—before the full length prefix was read—the decoder would incorrectly report success with an empty result instead of reporting an error. The fix makes the decoder correctly return an 'unexpected end of data' error in those cases. This could matter for anyone parsing Bitcoin protocol data from partial or truncated inputs.
