units: Flatten nested checked_ops methods

Use let-else statements in place of nested and doubly nested match
blocks which was added as a workaround to `Option::map` not being
available in `const` functions for MSRV `1.74.0`.

This improves legibility, early returns on error and eliminates
no-op `None => None` arms.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a straightforward code cleanup in the rust-bitcoin library. It replaces deeply nested match blocks with newer, cleaner Rust syntax (let-else statements) inside safe arithmetic helper functions. The actual behavior of the code—checking for overflow and returning None on error—does not change. There is no security vulnerability being fixed here.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal readability/style refactor.

Security signals we found
