hashes: Introduce MuHash wrapper type

In corepc-types, we are getting a hash digest from Core from the
muhash3072 algorith. For semantic reasons, we should provide a concrete
type from rust-bitcoin for this.

Introduce a newtype MuHash in hashes to represent hash outputs of the
muhash3072 algorithm.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new public type called MuHash to the rust-bitcoin hashes library. It is purely a wrapper around a 384-byte byte array so that downstream projects can label muhash3072 digests with a meaningful Rust type. The commit does not implement the hash algorithm itself, change any existing behavior, or fix any bug. There is no security-relevant change.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Treat as a normal API addition.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
