Introduce signing functions on sighash types

Although the private key types have raw signing functions on them that
allow users to bypass secp, they still present a rough interface for
signing compared to directly signing on the sighash types that result
from the SighashCache.

Introduce signing functions on LegacySighash, SegwitV0Sighash and
TapSighash.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds convenience helper methods that let developers sign Bitcoin transaction hash values more directly. It does not change any security-critical behavior; the same cryptographic signing operations were already available through other functions. The change is purely an API usability improvement.

Recommended action

No security action required; review as a normal API refactor.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
