Add SignetBlockScript/Buf for signet challenge scripts

Custom signets require a challenge script (or block script). But our
new script types do not provide a tag for that. Currently we are using
WitnessScriptBuf, which has the correct typing, but is sematically
unclear.

Add SignetBlockScript and SignetBlockScriptBuf script types to
represent challenge witness scripts for custom signets.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a straightforward code-quality improvement in the rust-bitcoin library. It introduces new type names (SignetBlockScript and SignetBlockScriptBuf) to represent signet challenge scripts more clearly, replacing the previous use of WitnessScript types. There is no security bug being fixed here and no behavior change that would affect users' funds or network safety.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal API refactor.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
