fix: BN254 G2 msgpack serialization in barretenberg-rs (#22360)

## Summary
- Fix missing `serde_bytes` handling for `field2` primitive type
(`[Vec<u8>; 2]`) in Rust codegen, which caused `Bn254G2Point` fields to
serialize as msgpack integer arrays instead of `bin32` blobs. The C++
backend expects `bin32`, so `bn254_g2_mul` would abort on
deserialization.
- Add `serde_array2_bytes` module (same pattern as existing
`serde_array4_bytes`) and detection logic in the codegen.
- Add FFI tests for `bn254_g1_mul` and `bn254_g2_mul` using the EIP-197
G2 generator.

Fixes AztecProtocol/barretenberg#1669. Reported by Porco from Obsidion.

## Test plan
- [x] `test_bn254_g1_mul_by_one` passes (baseline, confirms G1
serialization is correct)
- [x] `test_bn254_g2_mul_by_one` passes (1 * G2 = G2, confirms fix)
- [x] `test_bn254_g2_mul_by_two` passes (2 * G2 != G2, confirms
non-trivial operation works)
- [ ] CI passes

Commands used:
```
BB_LIB_DIR=barretenberg/cpp/build/lib cargo test -p barretenberg-tests --features ffi -- bn254_g
```
