Remove `FromHex` from hash and script types
- Remove the `FromHex` implementation from hash types and `ScriptBuf`
- Remove the `FromStr` implementation from `ScriptBuf` because it does not
roundtrip with `Display`.
- Implement a method `from_hex` on `ScriptBuf`.
- Implement `FromStr` on hash types using a fixed size array.
This leaves `FromHex` implementations only on `Vec` and fixed size arrays.
We use `internals::hex::display::DisplayHex` in many places, we can
improve ergonomics of the `internals` crate by re-exporting it from the
`prelude` module.
The `ToHex` trait was replaced by either simple `Display`/`LowerHex`
where appropriate or `DisplayHex` from `bitcoin_internals` which is
faster.
This change replaces the usages and removes the trait.
This makes the code less noisy and is a preparation for changing it to
`const`-based literal. Because of the preparation, places that used
variables to store the hex string were changed to constants.
There are still some instances of `Vec::from_hex` left - where they
won't be changeable to `const` and where `hex!` is unavailable
(integration tests). These may be dealt with later.

In order to get better test coverage we should not enable the secp26k1
feature "rand-std" in dev-dependencies but instead feature gate tests
that depend on this feature.
Move the `merkleblock` module into the `merkle_tree` module in a
submodule called `block`. In order to do the minimum amount of changes
in this patch DO NOT rename types to improved naming and reduce stutter.
Note:
- block module is private
- the three types are re-exported from `merkle_block`
This patch purposefully does the minimum amount of changes because there
a whole bunch of improvements to the old "merkleblock" module that are
coming next.
