Migrate from Honggfuzz to libfuzzer

This commit has a few main parts:

- Update CI to install required dependencies for libfuzzer
The default Cross s390x image uses an older version of GCC (Ubuntu
20.04), which lacks std::clamp needed by libfuzzer-sys. The s390x
Dockerfile provides Cross with a container with GCC 13, native build
tools, and QEMU for running s390x tests. Cross.toml configures Cross to
use this custom image instead of the default.

- Update the lock files
- Update the fuzz targets to use libfuzzer
- Update the fuzz helper scripts and documentation
- Update the duplicate dependency whitelist to include libc
- Move `fuzz` into a nested workspace

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a maintenance change that switches the project's fuzz testing framework from Honggfuzz to libfuzzer (cargo-fuzz). It updates build files, CI configuration, documentation, and fuzz target source files to use the new framework. There is no change to the actual Bitcoin library code that end users or applications depend on, and no security vulnerability is introduced or fixed.

Recommended action

No security action required. This is a testing-infrastructure refactor. Reviewers may optionally verify that CI fuzz jobs still execute all targets and that the new libfuzzer build works across supported architectures.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
