Merge rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin#6768: units: Add `#[inline]` to simple functions

75c1d648bc3ac9e65b222ef6a56332b304e41815 units: Add #[inline] to simple functions (Mitchell Bagot)

Pull request description:

Where functions merely delegate to other functions, or only perform trivial operations, they should be annotated with #[inline] to nudge the compiler towards improving performance by inlining them. Before the final 1.0 release, any remaining simple functions should be tagged with the #[inline] attribute.

Add #[inline] to trivial functions in all modules.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only adds the #[inline] compiler hint to many small, simple functions in the rust-bitcoin units crate. It does not change any logic, behavior, or public API. The change is purely a performance optimization to encourage the Rust compiler to inline trivial functions. There is no security relevance.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal performance-oriented code change. Standard review and CI testing are sufficient.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
