Move `impl_array_newtype` to `internals`

Discussion #5331 suggested removing `bitcoin` as a direct dependency
could be a reasonable goal for the `p2p` crate. One conflict along the
way is the use of this macro in `bip152` to implement the array-like
traits for the short IDs. Because `bitcoin` depends on `internals`, as
does `p2p`, we can move this macro into `internals` to help detangle
`p2p` and `bitcoin`.

Moves the deprecated methods to the `impl` blocks.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a routine code reorganization. It moves a helper macro that generates standard methods for array-like types from the main `bitcoin` crate into the shared `internals` crate. The goal is to let other crates (specifically `p2p`) use the macro without depending directly on `bitcoin`. The generated behavior is essentially unchanged, though a couple of deprecated `to_bytes` methods are moved from the macro into individual type definitions.
