Remove From impls on FromStrError

Since the error type is being stabilised, we want to eliminate needless
From impls to minimise the API surface. These From impls can be
trivially replaced by map_err calls, and so should be removed.

Remove From<ParseIntError> and From<TryFromError> for FromStrError.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a routine API cleanup, not a security fix. It removes two automatic error-conversion shortcuts (From impls) from a Bitcoin library's witness-version parsing error type and replaces them with explicit error mapping. The behavior of parsing errors remains the same.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Treat as normal refactoring/API-stabilization work.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
