ecdsa: Add to/from_signature, len, and iter

To the `ecdsa` type add `to_signature`, `from_signature`, `len`, and
`iter` methods.

Change the implementation of `IntoIter` for a sig reference so we can
add `iter` method as done in `taproot`.

While we are at it fix up the docs and layout all the methods in the
same order for both types (`ecdsa` and `taproot`).

This unifies the APIs of the two types `ecdsa::SerializedSignature`
and `taproot::SerializedSignature`.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a routine API cleanup for the rust-bitcoin library. It adds a few helper methods (to_signature, from_signature, len, iter) to the ECDSA serialized-signature type and reorders existing methods in the Taproot serialized-signature type so both types look the same. There is no security fix or behavior change that would affect users' funds or data.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Treat as a normal API-refactoring commit.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
