primitives: Add derives to encoders and decoders

We forgot to derive `Clone` and `Debug` for all the encoders and decoders.

We did do it over in `consensus_encoding` so we can just slap the
derives on. Arguably these could be in the macro for encoders but for
the sake of explicitness just put them on the call site.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds standard Rust traits (`Clone` and `Debug`) to a collection of data-encoding helper structs in the rust-bitcoin library. These traits let developers duplicate encoder/decoder objects and print them for debugging. There is no security vulnerability here; it is a routine API-quality improvement.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal API ergonomics improvement.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
