script/interpreter: make script_verify_flag_name an ordinary enum

Instead of having `SCRIPT_VERIFY_FOO = (1U << n)` just have it
be `n` directly, and do the bit shifting when converting it to
`script_verify_flags`.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a straightforward internal code cleanup in Bitcoin Core. It changes how script verification flags are defined from being bit-shifted numbers directly in the enum to plain sequential numbers, with the bit shifting done later when converting to the actual flags type. There is no security vulnerability or behavior change intended here.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal code-quality refactor.
