fuzz: [refactor] Use std::span over FuzzBufferType in descriptor utils

They are exactly the same, but the descriptor utils should not prescribe
to use the FuzzBufferType. Using a dedicated type for them clarifies
that the utils are not tied to FuzzBufferType.

Also, while touching the lines, use `const` only where it is meaningful.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a small code cleanup in Bitcoin Core's internal fuzz-testing utilities. It swaps one type name for another that behaves identically and removes some unnecessary 'const' keywords. There is no change to how the software runs or any security fix.

Recommended action

No action needed; this is a non-functional refactor in test-only code.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
