doc: Use multipath descriptors in descriptors.md and linked test

Updates documentation and wallet_miniscript_decaying_multisig_descriptor_psbt.py
to use single multipath descriptors with <0;1> syntax instead of separate
external/internal descriptors.

Changes:
- doc/descriptors.md: Update examples to use /<0;1>/* multipath syntax with /0 and /1 notation
- doc/descriptors.md: Update Basic Multisig Example instructions
- test: Refactor to use single multipath descriptor pattern, matching wallet_multisig_descriptor_psbt.py

Implementation:
- _get_xpub() extracts external descriptor and converts to multipath format
- create_multisig() builds descriptor string, gets checksum, imports descriptor#checksum
- Multipath descriptor properly expands to external and internal/change descriptors

Fixes #34086

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a documentation and test-code cleanup only. It updates Bitcoin Core's descriptor documentation and one functional test to use the newer 'multipath' descriptor syntax (/<0;1>/*) so a single descriptor can describe both receiving and change addresses, instead of maintaining two separate descriptors. There is no change to production wallet, consensus, or networking code, and no security fix or vulnerability is present.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal documentation/test maintenance.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
