BIP392: Silent Payment Output Script Descriptors

This builds on and provides an alternative to #2026, which references an [earlier discussion](https://btctranscripts.com/bitcoin-core-dev-tech/2024-04/silent-payment-descriptors). Instead of modifying BIP352, a new output descriptor format is proposed in the style of BIPs 381-387. Similar to #2026 key expressions starting with `spscan` and `spspend` are specified, but contain only version and key material information. The wallet birthday and additional labels are specified as optional addition
