consensus_encoding: Use correct MSRV
We somehow missed updating the MSRV of this crate. Found by clippy,
not sure why this lint warning wasn't picked up by CI?
However clippy is still warning:
```bash
just lint
cargo +$(cat ./nightly-version) clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features -- --deny warnings
warning: the MSRV in `clippy.toml` and `Cargo.toml` differ; using `1.74.0` from `clippy.toml`
...
```
But I don't see any usage of the old MSRV in any toml file?
What changed, and why it matters
This commit updates the declared minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) for one sub-crate from 1.63.0 to 1.74.0 so it matches the rest of the workspace. It is a build-metadata correction with no code changes and no security impact.
No security action needed. Treat as a normal build/tooling maintenance patch.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The change is a single-line edit in consensus_encoding/Cargo.toml: rust-version is bumped from 1.63.0 to 1.74.0. There are no source-code, dependency, API, or behavior changes. The commit message frames this as a CI/clippy hygiene fix, not a security fix.
