Bump MSRV to 1.56.1

We want to depend on the newly released version of `hashes` which has an
MSRV of 1.56.1

`hashes` is an optional dependency so we either bump the MSRV here or
document that enabling `hashes` increases the MSRV.

Also bumps MSRV of `secp256k1-sys` to keep the whole repository on the
same MSRV although this is not strictly necessary we would have to patch
CI to test secp-sys with 1.48 if we do not bump its MSRV also.
