rename GenericScript to Script

Now that Script/ScriptBuf are gone we can re-claim the names for the
generic versions. This means that users of the library, after this PR,
*should* have code that largely continues to work. They will need to
replace Script/ScriptBuf with a specific tagged script type in

* function signatures
* places where type inference can't figure it out (which should be
fairly rare, since all the library methods here use specific tags
now, except a couple sighash ones)

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a straightforward internal rename in the rust-bitcoin library. It changes the names 'GenericScript' and 'GenericScriptBuf' to the simpler 'Script' and 'ScriptBuf' across many files. There are no changes to how the code behaves, no bug fixes, and no security-related changes.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Treat as a normal API refactoring commit. Review downstream code only if it imports the old names directly, since the public names have changed.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
