ac372d46587cd08534371866e53d218a78630ca2 fuzz: Add bip158 fuzz_targets for BasicFilter (Abeeujah)

Pull request description:

Add fuzz targets for bitcoin-bip158 `BasicFilter::from_block` and `BasicFilter::from_byte`.

- `build_filter` exercises filter construction from a synthetic block with fuzzed scripts and verifies round-trip serialization, match_all/match_any correctness.
- `parse_filter` deserializes arbitrary bytes to construct a BasicFilter, and verifies batch matching is consistent with per-query matching.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only adds new fuzz testing code for the BIP158 BasicFilter feature. Fuzz tests are automated tools that feed random or crafted inputs to code to find bugs, but they do not themselves change the behavior of the main library or fix any vulnerability. There is no indication this commit addresses a security issue.

Recommended action

No security action required; treat as normal test-infrastructure addition. Continue routine fuzzing and monitor any future crashes found by these targets.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
