io: Introduce decode_from_read_with function

Currently, users of the old encoding traits can call functions like
reader.read_compact_size. With the new encoding/decoding traits, there
exists no convenient method for users to interact with bitcoin io
readers with decoders that don't have a dedicated Decode implementer.

Introduce decode_from_read_with variant function that is generic on
Decoder + Default instead of Decode.
✓ Descriptive subject✓ Provides detailed explanatory context
The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new helper function to the rust-bitcoin library that lets developers decode data from a reader using any decoder type that can be created with default settings. It is a pure API addition: it refactors an existing function into a shared internal helper and exposes a new public entry point. There is no bug fix, behavior change, or security-related content in the diff.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal API enhancement.
