Remove From<u16> from NumberOfBlocks

The NumberOfBlocks type has a From<u16> impl on it, which is used to
simplify construction of the type in various tests. However, the
from_height constructor already takes a u16 and functions identically.
Since the NumberOf512Seconds type has no such From impl, it should be
removed from this to reduce the API surface and make the two consistent.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit removes a convenience way to create a 'number of blocks' value directly from a plain u16 number, replacing all uses with an existing named constructor called from_height. It is a routine API cleanup to make two related types consistent; it does not fix any bug or vulnerability.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Treat as a normal API-surface reduction change.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
