Move ScriptPubKeyBufExt to addresses

The new_p2pkh function is necessary to implement the script_pubkey
function on Address. Since the function signature includes a hash type
from crypto, it can't be moved to primitives yet. Instead, we can move
the extension trait to addresses where it can be used, and re-export
the trait in bitcoin to retain the same API.

Move ScriptPubKeyBufExt to addresses, Adjust new_p2pk function impl to
remove use of Builder::push_key.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a routine internal code reorganization in the rust-bitcoin library. It moves a helper trait (ScriptPubKeyBufExt) and its functions from one internal module to another, and re-exports it so existing users see no change. There is no indication this fixes a security bug or introduces a vulnerability.
