Split TapNodeHash and TapLeafHash logic into extension traits

The impl blocks for TapNodeHash and TapLeafHash use types and functions
that can't be easily moved to a new crate. Since the functionality is
not required on the types in primitives, it can be split into extension
traits to be left in bitcoin.

Introduce TapNodeHashExt and TapLeafHashExt extension traits. Move
functionality from TapNodeHash and TapLeafHash to the traits.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a routine internal code reorganization. It moves some Taproot hash helper methods from direct implementations on two types into Rust 'extension traits' so the underlying types can live in a more basic crate while the extra logic stays in the main bitcoin crate. There is no change to what the code computes or any security behavior.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Treat as normal refactoring.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
