Move `MerkleBlock` to `p2p`

Moves the module into a duplicate named `merkle_tree` module, fixes all
of the new lints, moves the test vectors to a new folder that mirrors
that of `bitcoin`, and updates all available `primitives` imports.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a straightforward code reorganization: it moves the MerkleBlock and PartialMerkleTree implementation from the main `bitcoin` crate into the `p2p` crate, where it is more logically grouped with peer-to-peer message types. The actual logic, tests, and test data files are copied almost unchanged. There is no indication this fixes or introduces a security vulnerability.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Treat as a normal refactoring/reorganization commit. Reviewers may want to verify that downstream users relying on `bitcoin::MerkleBlock` have a migration path to `bitcoin_p2p_messages::merkle_tree::MerkleBlock` (or the new crate path), but this is an API-change concern, not a security issue.

Security signals we found
