p2p: Implement `encoding` traits for `GetBlocks/HeadersMessage`

This is a rare case where this can be macro-ized, but I think the extra
pain of code duplication makes this easier to read than a macro.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds new ways to encode and decode two Bitcoin peer-to-peer network messages, `GetBlocks` and `GetHeaders`. It does not change the existing encoding logic; it only introduces an alternative implementation using newer internal traits. There is no indication this fixes a security bug or introduces a vulnerability.

Recommended action

No security action required. Review as normal code-quality change.
