Merge rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin#1624: Improve `sighash` module documentation 

75b266a129 Improve `sighash` module documentation (Martin Habovstiak)

Pull request description:

  "Sighash" is a technical term that newbies in Bitcoin may not know and could get lost when trying to find how to sign a transaction. This change attempts to make it more obvious that this module is needed for signing.

  Closes #1463
