Move script hexification functions to primitives

The functions for converting scripts to hex have clean API's, we
iterated on them a ton already. Currently the implementation uses the
old consensus code but we have all this available in `primitives` now
as well as an optional dependency on `hex_unstable`.

Lets move them to primitives.

Note that this patch adds a seemingly unnecessary allocation, maybe we
have an API that needs improving or maybe I'm being brain dead ATM.

Intentionally leave the unit test where it is for now to prove nothing
in `bitcoin` breaks.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a routine internal code reorganization. It moves two helper functions that convert Bitcoin scripts to hexadecimal strings from the main `bitcoin` crate into the lower-level `primitives` crate. The functions still behave the same way; they are just located in a different module. There is no security fix or vulnerability here.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal refactoring. Reviewers may optionally follow up on the TODO about avoiding the extra allocation in `to_hex_string_prefixed`.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
