bitcoin/script: inline bitcoin varint encoding

Remove the local bitcoin::script helper module and call rust-bitcoin's
VarInt serializer directly at each Bitcoin API use site.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a small code cleanup change. It removes a local helper function that wrapped rust-bitcoin's variable-length integer serializer, and instead calls rust-bitcoin's serializer directly at each place it is used. The actual bytes produced are identical, so this does not change behavior or fix a security issue.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal refactoring review; verify CI/tests still pass and that the rust-bitcoin version's VarInt encoding remains compatible.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
