Subject: [PATCH] chore: migrate rust/basic_bitcoin to icp-cli

- Replace dfx.json with icp.yaml (Bitcoin integration via custom Docker
  image bundling bitcoind, matching motoko/basic_bitcoin pattern)
- Move Rust source from src/ into backend/ subdirectory
- Replace root Cargo.toml with workspace + backend/Cargo.toml (name=backend)
- Copy Dockerfile and docker/start.sh from motoko/basic_bitcoin
- Rewrite Makefile with icp-cli commands and 9 numbered tests
- Update README with icp-cli instructions, preserve all domain content
- Add rust-basic_bitcoin CI job to .github/workflows/basic_bitcoin.yml
- Delete dfx.json, build.sh, basic_bitcoin.did, old src/
