Create Transaction from hex

[ItoroD]

Describe the enhancement

Types like Transaction can create new Transactions by passing in transaction bytes. It will be helpful to also create transactions by passing in the string hex of a transaction.

Use case

• Create a transaction from a transaction hex.

Additional context

@rustaceanrob hashlike types has useful methods that types like Transaction can benefit from. Like from_string. Could this be a method we add directly to Transaction impl?

This would mirror the PSBT API. I don't see any problem with adding this.

cool it was just as easy for me to write that function in a PR as it was to comment so I figured id just do the PR (especially since the from_string stuff was fresh in my mind from a recent PR of mine). I'll let CI tests pass then add you as a reviewer
