Rename TxOut::value to amount

There is a draft naming BIP [0] and in it `amount` is favoured over
`value`. Since we are attempting to do a 1.0 stable release now is the
time to lock things like this.

Also consensus reached on this re-name in #1824

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a simple renaming of a field in the code from `value` to `amount` across many files. It does not change what the code does, how transactions are validated, or how bitcoins are counted. It is a cleanup change to match a proposed naming standard before the library reaches version 1.0.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Treat as a normal API-breaking refactor. Downstream users should update references from `txout.value` to `txout.amount` when upgrading.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
