Improve hashes::Error

We are trying to make error types stable on the way to v1.0

The current `hashes::Error` is a "general" enum error type with a single
variant, better to use a struct and make the error usecase specific.

Improve the `hashes::Error` by doing:

- Make it a struct
- Rename to `FromSliceError`
- Move it to the crate root (remove `error` module)

Includes usage in `bitcoin`.
