Remove `Option` from `CompactSizeEncoder`

`Option` was removed from encoders in
06623b81bc0ef6bdd3e4e2525aff78af174b7e77 however it was missed in case
of `CompactSizeEncoder`, so this now removes it.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a small internal cleanup in the Rust Bitcoin library. It removes an unnecessary use of Option (a type that can hold either a value or nothing) from a compact-size integer encoder. The change simplifies the code but does not fix a security bug or change observable behavior.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Treat as routine code-quality/refactoring change.

Security signals we found
