refactor(fuzz): remove custom fuzz_utils module

Remove the hand-rolled `consume_random_bytes`, `consume_u64`, and
`consume_u32` helpers and the `bitcoin_fuzz` lib crate.

- Use `<&[u8]>::arbitrary` to split fuzz input into borrowed slices
- Flatten nested match blocks into early returns for readability

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a routine code cleanup in the project's fuzz-testing harness. It removes a small set of hand-written helper functions and replaces them with a standard library approach for splitting fuzz input into slices. There is no change to the actual Bitcoin library code that users rely on, and nothing in the commit suggests a security fix.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Treat as normal maintenance/refactoring.
