units: Remove From impls for Un/PrefixedHexError types

The remaining From conversion trait impls for the hex errors can be
removed now that the relevant hex functionality is all co-located in
units and doesn't require any public API surface.

Remove all From impls for UnprefixedHexError and PrefixedHexError.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a routine internal cleanup in the Rust Bitcoin library. It removes some automatic error-conversion shortcuts (called `From` implementations) for two hex-parsing error types and replaces their uses with explicit constructor calls. There is no indication this fixes a security bug; it is a normal API-refactoring change.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal maintenance/refactoring commit.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
