Replace current expression.rs module with calls to the rust-miniscript's expression module

+# Unreleased

+- Reject a legacy-pegin miniscript outside `or_d(multi,and_v(v:older,multi))` with `Error::BadDescriptor`.
+- Remove the unused `Error::MultiAt`, `Error::MissingHash`, `Error::TaprootSpendInfoUnavialable` and `Error::TrNoExplicitScript` variants.
+- Parse expressions with the rust-miniscript `expression` module instead of a local parser. `expression::Tree`, `expression::TreeIterItem` and `expression::Parens` are the rust-miniscript types. `Tree` no longer has public `name` and `args` fields, a `Display` implementation or a `from_slice` method, and `Tree::from_str` returns a rust-miniscript `Error`.
+- `FromTree::from_tree`, `expression::{terminal, unary, binary}`, `SortedMultiVec::from_tree` and `Extension::from_name_tree` take `TreeIterItem` nodes instead of `&Tree` references.
+- Malformed expressions are reported as rust-miniscript parse errors in `Error::BtcError`. `Error::ExpectedChar` is removed. The expression parser accepts up to 402 nested brackets across the whole expression, including the `eltr` wrapper, script tree branches and the Miniscript in each leaf, and rejects deeper expressions with a rust-miniscript `MaxRecursionDepthExceeded` parse error. The previous limit was 401, and each Taproot leaf had its own separate limit. `Error::MaxRecursiveDepthExceeded` now only reports a Taproot script tree deeper than the 128-level Taproot limit.
+- In Elements expressions, curly braces are only accepted for the branches of an `eltr` script tree, which must be nameless and have exactly two children. Keys can no longer contain curly braces. The Bitcoin federation descriptor in `pegin()` follows rust-miniscript rules, which accept curly braces in `tr` script trees.
+- Only `,`, `)` or `}` may follow a closing bracket, so key text such as `musig(A,B)/0`, which key types like `String` previously accepted, is rejected.
+- A `sortedmulti` now contains a check that threshold must be a number without arguments.
+- An empty script tree argument, as in `eltr(A,)`, is rejected. It was previously read as part of the internal key.
+- `eltr` accepts a `musig(...)` internal key for key types that parse `musig(...)` text, such as `String`.
+- `ct()` descriptors accept `eltr` with script leaves that contain no extension fragments.
+- Miniscript and policy strings accept a trailing descriptor checksum, which is verified. The text after the last `#` is read as the checksum, so a key containing `#` is only accepted when a valid checksum follows.
+- `pegin()` and `legacy_pegin()` descriptors can be parsed from strings. `LegacyPegin` displays its inner descriptor without the inner checksum. A successful parse does not check the restrictions that pegin spending places on the descriptor. Unsupported forms, such as an `eltr` Elements descriptor, still parse and can panic in the unchanged Bitcoin-side methods, including `bitcoin_address`, `bitcoin_witness_script` and `get_bitcoin_satisfaction`.
