psbt: Refactor duplicate key lookup and size checks

Every key has a duplicate key lookup check, and many keys have fixed
size checks. These can be refactored to reduce code duplication.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a code cleanup in Bitcoin Core's Partially Signed Bitcoin Transaction (PSBT) handling. It moves duplicate-key detection and fixed-size checks into shared helpers so the same logic is not repeated dozens of times. The behavior is intended to stay the same; only error messages change in a few test cases. There is no indication this fixes a security bug.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal code-quality review; verify that the centralized duplicate check covers all previously checked cases, which the diff appears to confirm.

Security signals we found

01

Refactoring only: duplicate detection and size validation logic preserved

02

Error message strings changed; no test vectors removed

03

No new parsing paths or trust boundaries introduced

04

No vendor disclosure of security relevance in commit message or diff
