Introduce Ntxid

Currently the API to calculate a normalized TXID returns a hash type.
We would like to remove `hashes` from the public API of `primitives`
so we can stabilise `primitives` without stabilising `hashes`.

Introduce a `Ntxid` type and return it when computing the normalised
TXID.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a routine API refactor in a Rust Bitcoin library. It introduces a new public type called Ntxid to represent a 'normalized transaction ID' instead of returning a generic hash. The goal is to let the library stabilize one of its core modules without forcing users to depend on another internal module. There is no security bug being fixed here.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Reviewers may want to verify downstream consumers handle the changed return type, but this is a normal API migration.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
