Introduce CI action to enforce encodable fuzzing

With the introduction of the Encodable differential fuzz target, it's
important to ensure that all new implementations of Encodable types
are compared against existing implementations from bitcoin 0.32.

Add Encodable-coverage action to check compare_consensus_encoding
target for inclusion of all Encodable types on branch and bitcoin 0.32.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new continuous integration (CI) check and a helper script that make sure every type that can be encoded in the current version of the library is also tested by an existing differential fuzz test against an older version of the library. It does not change any library code, user-facing behavior, or fix a bug; it only strengthens automated testing.

Recommended action

No security action required. This is a defensive CI hardening change. Reviewers may want to verify the EXCLUSIONS list is well-justified and that the script parsing is robust enough for future refactors.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
