BIP 340: fix function signature of lift_x in reference code

bip-0340.mediawiki defines lift_x as taking an integer argument. This commit
changes the argument of lift_x in the reference code to be identical to the
specification. Previously it took a byte array.

 The reference implementation is for demonstration purposes only and not to be used in production environments.
