Replace use of con_serde in sighash test

The bip_341_sighash_tests test in sighash relies on con_serde to hex
decode a transaction in the test data. Since we want to remove old
consensus logic, con_serde will not be available. As such, this test
should be modified to use consensus_encoding's decode_from_hex.

Add hex feature to consensus_encoding dependency in bitcoin.
Replace use of con_serde in bip_341_sighash_tests test with
decode_from_hex.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a routine internal test refactor. It swaps one test-only helper for another so that a unit test can still decode hex transaction data after an older helper is removed. There is no change to production code or to how real transactions are handled.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Treat as normal maintenance/refactoring.
