Pull request description:
Split out of https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30377#discussion_r1722326803.
Replace `_hex_v_u8` for `CScript` appends to `_hex`, to skip vector conversion before serializing to the `prevector` in `CScript`.
To enable both `unsigned char` and `std::byte` values, I've extracted the existing serialization to append the size & data in separate private methods to clarify that it does more than just a simple data insertion.
There were also discussion on eliminating the operators here completely to obviate when we're serializing fixed-size collections as raw bytes, and when we're prefixing them with their size - should also be done in a separate PR.
