Re-export locktime encoders and decoders
For all `units::foo::Foo` there should exist a `primitives::foo::Foo`
and `bitcoin::foo::Foo`. We forgot about the new locktime encoding
types.
FTR we have issue #5969 to investigate how this happened.
What changed, and why it matters
This commit simply makes a few existing locktime-related type names available through an additional public module path. It is a routine API consistency fix with no security relevance.
No security action needed; treat as a normal API consistency patch.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The change adds re-exports of LockTimeEncoder, LockTimeDecoder, and LockTimeDecoderError from units::locktime::absolute into bitcoin::blockdata::locktime::absolute. No logic, encoding, decoding, or validation behavior is modified; only the public import surface is expanded to match the crate’s usual re-export pattern.
