Close FromHexError

The FromHexError is currently unreleased but is necessary for hex
functionality. Since it is not ready for 1.0 as an enum, it should be
enclosed in a private struct as is typical for error types from units,
primitives, etc.

Rename FromHexError enum to FromHexErrorInner and add a new
FromHexError struct to privately wrap the inner enum.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a routine API design change, not a security fix. It renames an internal error enum and wraps it in a private struct so the library can keep the error type flexible before its first stable release. No vulnerability is patched and no exploit is possible.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Treat as a normal API-breaking change and update downstream code that pattern-matched on FromHexError variants.
