hashes: Remove FromSliceError

This error type was returned by `Hash::from_slice` which was
deprecated in `v0.15.0` and removed in this to-be-released version.

Lets just remove the error type too since it is unlikely that anyone
is using it still if it is not returned by the lib.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit removes an old, already-deprecated error type called FromSliceError from the rust-bitcoin hashes crate. The function that used to return this error was removed in an earlier version, so this change just cleans up leftover code. It is a routine API cleanup, not a security fix.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Downstream users relying on the deprecated FromSliceError type will need to update their code when upgrading, as expected for a breaking API cleanup.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
