Pull request description:

Per C-EXAMPLE, every item in a crate is supposed to include an example/doctest. Since many functions in primitives are trivial, providing an example for every method and type is needlessly verbose. However, most modules, types and some methods can benefit from the introduction of examples to clarify quirks and uses of the functionality.

Add doctests examples liberally to modules, types and methods throughout primitives.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only adds documentation examples (doctests) to the rust-bitcoin primitives crate. It does not change any functional code, fix bugs, or alter security behavior. The examples are meant to help developers understand how to use the library.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Treat as a normal documentation improvement.
