Add fuzz targets for consensus_encoding crate

The four new targets focus on the decoding half of the exposed API. This
is the half which deals with consuming bytes from unknown sources.
Encoding on the other hand probably wouldn't benefit much from fuzzing
since all bytes are known before the operation.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only adds new fuzz testing targets for the consensus_encoding crate. Fuzz testing is an automated quality-assurance technique that feeds random or crafted inputs to code to find crashes or unexpected behavior. The commit does not change any production library code, so it cannot by itself introduce a security vulnerability or fix one.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal test/CI infrastructure addition. If the fuzz targets later discover crashes, those should be triaged separately.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
