Remove the unstable hex-conservative dependency

BOOM! Now that `hex 1.1.0` is out we can remove the unstable dep. This
is a breaking change all the way down the stack and will require
re-releases.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a routine dependency cleanup. The project previously had to use two different versions of the same hex-encoding helper library (one stable, one unstable preview) because a needed feature was only available in the unstable version. Now that the stable library released version 1.1.0 with that feature, the commit removes the unstable dependency and switches everything to the single stable version. It is not a security fix and does not change how the software behaves to users.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal dependency upgrade and verify CI passes. Reviewers should confirm that all crates compile with the new single dependency and that downstream consumers are prepared for the breaking re-export name change from hex_stable/hex_unstable to hex.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
