c772cb1b52f575c6d4b9566440c18faa143e0c13 primitives: Flatten error constructors (Mitchell Bagot)

Pull request description:

Typically speaking, nested error construction yields code that's not very readable. Instead, we can make use of map_err to repeatedly wrap inner error types to produce the final error types as needed.

Flatten nested error constructors in primitives to use repeated map_err calls.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a pure code-style cleanup. It rewrites how errors are wrapped in two source files so the code reads more cleanly, but it does not change what errors are produced, what data is accepted, or how the software behaves. There is no security issue here.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Treat as normal code-quality maintenance.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
