Replace impl_to_hex_from_lower_hex with deprecated inherent to_hex

The impl_to_hex_from_lower_hex macro from internals implements a to_hex
function for a type by calling through to an existing LowerHex impl.
This has been something that we've wanted to remove for a while, so
a first step involves deprecating the macro and removing all uses.

Replace impl_to_hex_from_lower_hex with deprecated inherent to_hex on
all types.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a routine code cleanup change. It replaces an internal helper macro that generated `to_hex` methods with manually-written, equivalent `to_hex` methods that are marked as deprecated. The public API behavior stays the same; callers will just receive a deprecation warning encouraging them to use Rust's standard `format!("{var:x}")` instead. There is no security fix or vulnerability here.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal API-deprecation commit. Downstream users may want to migrate from `to_hex()` to `format!("{var:x}")` when convenient, but this is not security-relevant.

Security signals we found

01
