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

Bump the MSRV for the main crate `secp256k1` to Rust `v1.56.1` as it is
for most of the rest of our crates. Leave `secp256k1-sys` as it is, and
add a basic CI job to test we can run tests with default features using
1.48.0 still for that crate only.
