Remove old consensus code from examples

Various examples in bitcoin use old consensus code but should instead
make use of the modern consensus_encoding functionality. This also
provides users with a demonstration on how to use the new logic as
opposed to the old.

Replace all uses of consensus in examples with new consensus_encoding
functionality.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only updates example code in the rust-bitcoin project. It replaces older 'consensus' encoding/decoding API calls with newer 'consensus_encoding' API calls in three example files. There is no change to the library's actual security-sensitive code, no bug fix, and no security patch.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a routine documentation/examples maintenance commit.

Security signals we found
