units: Bump version to 0.5.0

We just removed a set of public functions (parse an integer from hex
`_unchecked` version).

In preparation for release bump the version, upgrade local downstream
crates, add a changelog entry, and update the lock files.

Note on deprecated code:

In #6290 we did the 'final polish before 1.0' including removal of
deprecated code. Hoping that the next release was 1.0 and users could
use `0.4.0` as 1.0 + deprecated stuff.

Now we are going to do `0.5.0` and semver everything possible back
into `0.4.1` so this reasoning still stands. From the changelog it
should be clear also what is going on.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a routine version bump for the bitcoin-units crate from 0.4.0 to 0.5.0. It updates dependency references and lock files, and records in the changelog that some deprecated and internal-only hex-parsing helper functions were removed. There is no security-relevant code change in the diff itself.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Treat as normal release housekeeping.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.

Technical analysis

Evidence from the diff

The diff only changes version strings (0.4.0 -> 0.5.0) in Cargo.toml files and Cargo lock files, plus a changelog entry. The actual removal of public functions happened in earlier commits referenced as PR #6290 and PR #6292. No source code logic is modified here.
