Move minimal sighash types to crypto crate

While many of the sighash types are intertwined with taproot and
bitcoin dependencies, some can be moved and re-exported trivially.

Move and re-export EcdsaSighashType, TapSighashType,
InvalidSighashTypeError, NonStandardSighashTypeError and
SighashTypeParseError to crypto crate.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a routine code reorganization: it moves some Bitcoin signature-hash type definitions (EcdsaSighashType, TapSighashType, and related error types) from the main bitcoin crate into a new bitcoin-crypto sub-crate, then re-exports them so existing users see no change. There is no functional change to how signatures or transactions are validated.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal maintenance; verify downstream builds compile and public API tests pass.

Security signals we found

01

No security-relevant behavioral change in moved code

02

Public API preserved via re-exports

03

New dependency introduced (bitcoin-crypto) within the same workspace
