Move U256 tests to units

As part of ensuring that the hex parsing on U256 is only needed in
units (to simplify error conversions), the test cases for u256 that
currently rely on the U256Hex trait should be moved to units. This move
also ensures that the type is tested at the most upstream point it is
used, not only in bitcoin, potentially helping to catch bugs earlier.

Move all u256-specific test cases to units.
Remove U256Hex trait from bitcoin.
Fix lint errors in test cases.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a routine code cleanup: it moves test cases for a 256-bit unsigned integer type (U256) from one internal test module to another, closer to where the type is defined. It also removes a test-only helper trait used for parsing hex strings and fixes minor code style warnings. There is no change to the actual library behavior or any security-sensitive logic.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal refactoring/test relocation.
