Move script hex parsing to primitives

Now that we use stable error types we can move the hex parsing
functions from `bitcoin` to `primitives`.

Leave the deprecated method behind in `bitcoin`.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a routine code reorganization: it moves functions that parse Bitcoin script hex strings from the main `bitcoin` crate into the lower-level `primitives` crate. The old functions in `bitcoin` are kept as deprecated aliases so existing code keeps working. There is no security fix or vulnerability here.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Treat as a normal API migration; update downstream code to use the new `primitives` location when convenient and note the deprecation of `bitcoin::script::ScriptBufExt::from_hex`.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
