Destructure error types in source impls

Destructure error types in source impls

In the source impls of error types, we previously decided to use
explicit impls to try to prevent changes in the error type from
introducing errors. However, impls that simply return None do not help
to solve this issue.

Add a complete error type destructure to all None source impls to catch
future error shape changes.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a code-quality maintenance change. It adds pattern-matching destructuring inside Rust error-type 'source' methods that previously just returned 'None'. The goal is to make the compiler warn future maintainers if the shape of an error type changes, so they remember to update the source() implementation. It does not change runtime behavior, fix a bug, or close a security vulnerability.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal refactoring/CI hygiene. Reviewers may verify that all cfg-gated destructures (especially PushBytesError) compile on the supported target architectures.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
