Replace encode with checksum encoding in tests

The new Base58CkString type only performs base58check encoding, not the
non-checksum type encoding. As such, it has no replacement for the old
encode function. In order to confirm the same functionality (leading
zeros, >128 chars, etc), the uses of encode can be replaced by
equivalent base58check strings in the tests.

Replace encode usage in test cases with equivalent base58check encoded
strings and encoding calls.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only changes test code in the rust-bitcoin base58 module. It replaces calls to an old plain base58 encoder with equivalent base58check-encoded strings and a new checksum-based encoder. There is no change to production code, no security fix, and no vulnerability.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Treat as a normal test-maintenance commit.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
