Remove current index from SliceEncoder

At one stage during development, IIRC, I was trying to mutate the
encoder from within a loop and was unable to do so so I added a
current index instead. With Andrew's later improved version of
`advance` this was no longer the case but I left the `cur_idx`
variable in there. Remove it.

This was noticed during review but kindly left for a follow up since
its an internal change.

units: Wrap decoder error types

If two encoders return the same error it is not currently possible to
compose them with our decoders. Having a new type instead of returning
the `UnexpectedEofError` makes this possible (assuming one doesn't
want to compose two decoders of the same type).

Add terse opcodes for 1-16 and neg

The existing terms are unnecessarily long, we can make them more terse
with no loss of clarity.

Deprecate the long names and introduce short ones.

Change `OP_PUSHNUM_NEG1` to be `OP_1NEGATE` to match Bitcoin Core.

NOTE: This is a breaking change to `serde` serialization since we use
the exact letters of the consts when serializing.

Do not fix the introduced lint warnings, done next. Do, howener, fix
the roundtrip unit tests.

✓ Descriptive subject✓ Names a concrete action or component✓ Provides detailed explanatory context✓ Mentions testing or verification

This commit renames Bitcoin script opcode constants to shorter names (for example, OP_PUSHNUM_1 becomes OP_1) and keeps the old names as deprecated aliases. It also changes how these opcodes are serialized to JSON, so any software that exchanges opcode names with this library may need to update its expected strings. There is no direct security flaw in the code change itself, but it is a breaking API/serialization change that could surprise downstream users.

This commit only updates a generated public-API listing file (api/units/all-features.txt). It records that new decoder types and traits for consensus encoding are now part of the exposed API, but it does not contain any actual code changes, bug fixes, or security patches. There is nothing here that directly creates or fixes a vulnerability.

units: Implement decoding traits

In a similar fashion to what we did for encoding; for each of the
types that implements encoding add logic for decoding.

This commit adds decoding logic for several Bitcoin unit types (amounts, block heights, lock times, sequence numbers, block times) so they can be read from a byte stream, mirroring existing encoding logic. It is a routine feature addition, not a security fix.
