bitcoin: Move sign_message module errors to error submodule

At present, some modules in bitcoin separate error types into
submodules with re-exports while others simply define the error types
in the module. This inconsistency is confusing and makes the docs vary.
All error types for each top-level module should be moved into a
relevant submodule and re-exported without inline docs.

Move error types from sign_message module into error submodule and
re-export.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a simple internal code cleanup. It moves an error type (MessageSignatureError) from one place in the sign_message module into a new error submodule and re-exports it so users can still access it the same way. No behavior, logic, or security properties changed.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Treat as a normal refactoring/reorganization change.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
