Change new constructor to from_secp

The new constructor on XOnlyPublicKey is poorly named, as it merely
constructs an XOnlyPublic key by wrapping an inner type.

What changed, and why it matters

This commit simply renames a function from XOnlyPublicKey::new to XOnlyPublicKey::from_secp because the old name was misleading. The underlying behavior is unchanged. There is no security vulnerability or fix here.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Treat as a normal API-breaking change for downstream consumers.
