Move deserialize tests to primitives

In bitcoin, there are various tests that only have a dependency on
bitcoin due to the deserialize/serialize functions on the old encoding

trivially moved to primitives.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit simply moves existing unit tests from one internal crate to another and rewrites them to use a newer encoding API. No production code behavior changes, and no security bug is fixed or introduced.

Recommended action

No security action required; this is a routine test refactoring.

Security signals we found
