api: remove api snapshot files

The api CI task now diffs the generated API against the
base branch, so the committed snapshots no longer serve
as the check. They only produce rebase churn on every api
change, so drop them and ignore the generated location.

contrib/api.sh now points at the generated path and tells
the user how to produce the files when they are missing.

API snapshot was a prerequisite of Check Re-exports job,
so they must be regenerated now. Each re-exports script
implements an api snapshot generation for robustness.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit removes large, automatically-generated API snapshot text files from the rust-bitcoin repository. The snapshots were used to detect accidental changes to the public API, but they caused unnecessary merge conflicts. The project now generates these snapshots on demand during CI instead of storing them in git. This is a repository maintenance and CI workflow change, not a code behavior change, and it has no direct security impact on users of the library.

Recommended action

No security action required. Reviewers may want to confirm that the new CI diff-against-base-branch logic still catches unintended public API changes, but that is outside the scope of this commit's diff.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
