Merge rust-bitcoin#2667: Remove deprecated legacy numeric methods

051c358 Remove deprecated legacy numeric methods (Divyansh Gupta)

Pull request description:

  As `rustc 1.79.0-nightly (9d79cd5f7 2024-04-05)` is released which solves the issue mentioned , but the release has deperacted legacy numeric methods.
  Thus replaced `u16::max_value()` etc with `u32::MAX` & `core::u16` to directly `u16`.

  fix rust-bitcoin#2639
