ext: Add extension trait re-exports
The ext module in bitcoin is supposed to hold re-exports of all
extension traits. During the recent crypto and taproot-primitives moves
some new extension traits were added but not re-exported from ext.
Add NetworkExt, TargetExt, WorkExt, TapLeafHashExt, TapNodeHashExt, and
PrivateKeyExt extension trait re-exports to ext module.
What changed, and why it matters
This commit is a straightforward API cleanup: it adds missing re-exports of existing extension traits to a central 'ext' module so users can import them from one place. No code behavior changes, no bug fixes, and no security relevance.
No security action needed. Treat as a normal API ergonomics improvement.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The change only modifies bitcoin/src/lib.rs, adding pub use re-exports for NetworkExt, TargetExt, WorkExt, TapLeafHashExt, TapNodeHashExt, and PrivateKeyExt inside the ext module. These traits already existed elsewhere in the crate; the commit merely exposes them through the ext facade. It is purely additive and conditional (PrivateKeyExt only with the secp-recovery feature).
