Pull request description:

Various improvements that fell out of my review of `units` crate. My review is not over yet, but I need a break, so I'm at least publishing this for review. (Feel free to review, I'll just make another PR if I find more.)

These are just documentation improvements. See individual commits for details.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a routine code-quality and documentation update for the Rust Bitcoin 'units' crate. It adds a few helper methods, improves precision of fee-rate calculations, and updates documentation and warnings. There is no indication of a security vulnerability being fixed, and the changes are described by the author as 'just documentation improvements' plus minor API refinements.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal maintenance merge. Reviewers may want to verify the fee-rate precision changes behave as intended and that the infallible constructors are acceptable API changes.
