Add hex string parsing for taproot::Signature

The ecdsa::Signature can roundtrip to hex, but taproot::Signature
cannot.

Add FromStr for taproot::Signature and ParseSignatureError as an error
type.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new feature: the ability to parse a Taproot cryptographic signature from a hexadecimal text string. Previously only ECDSA signatures could be parsed this way. The change is purely additive and does not fix any known bug or vulnerability. It simply exposes a new parsing function to users of the library.

Recommended action

No security action required. Review as a normal feature addition; ensure the new error type and FromStr implementation meet project API conventions.

Security signals we found

01

No security-relevant signals present in the commit or supplied references.

02

Change is a feature addition for API parity with ecdsa::Signature.
