consensus_encoding: Change EncodableByteIter to EncoderByteIter

The EncodableByteIter is currently trait bounded on Encodable. It would
be better if it were instead simplified to be bounded on Encoder, and
renamed to EncoderByteIter, since it is ultimately only a wrapper
around an Encoder, not a special type interacting with Encodable.

Change EncodableByteIter to take an Encoder type directly.
Add Clone derive now that trait bounds allow for it.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a routine internal refactoring of a Rust Bitcoin library type. It renames EncodableByteIter to EncoderByteIter and changes it to wrap an encoder directly rather than an encodable value. There is no security fix or vulnerability indicated in the commit.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal API refactoring; downstream users should update any references from EncodableByteIter to EncoderByteIter when upgrading.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
