Return only XOnlyPublicKey from from_keypair

Return only XOnlyPublicKey from from_keypair

The from_keypair function currently returns the XOnlyPublicKey and
associated parity as a 2-tuple. Since parity is now stored on the
XOnlyPublicKey, this can be simplified to an XOnlyPublicKey return
type.

Replace from_keypair return type with a plain XOnlyPublicKey.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a routine API cleanup in the rust-bitcoin library. It changes a function so it returns only the x-only public key, instead of a pair of the key plus its parity bit. The parity information is now stored inside the key object itself, so callers no longer need to handle it separately. There is no security vulnerability here.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Developers upgrading to this version should update code that depends on the previous tuple return type of from_keypair/to_x_only_public_key.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
