Enforce lifetime in encoder_newtype

Since we want all encoder types to include a lifetime, encoder_newtype
must be changed to introduce a lifetime to be passed to inner encoder
types.

Require lifetime specifier for encoder_newtype macro and introduce
lifetime for all affected call sites.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a Rust type-system cleanup. It changes a macro that creates encoder wrapper types so that every wrapper must carry a lifetime parameter, and updates all uses across the codebase. There is no change to runtime behavior, wire format, or cryptographic logic. It prevents future misuse of the macro but does not fix a known exploitable bug.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal refactoring/quality improvement. If auditing, verify that the lifetime changes compile and that no public API stability guarantees are broken unexpectedly.

Security signals we found

01

No runtime behavior change

02

No input parsing changes

03

No cryptographic operations modified

04

Macro lifetime enforcement is defensive API design, not a vulnerability fix

05

No mention of security, CVE, bug, or disclosure in commit message
