The Bitcoin block version is a signed integer for historical reasons,
but we bit twiddle it like an unsigned integer and during consensus
encode/decode we cast the signed value to an unsigned value.
In order to hide this confusion, make the inner value private and add a
couple of constants for v1 and v2 block versions.
Currently the types in the block module have longer names than
necessary, "header" and "version" identifiers contain the word "block",
this is unnecessary because we can write `block::Header` instead of
`BlockHeader` when context is required. This allows us to use the naked
type `Header` inside the `block` module with no loss of clarity.
We are stuck with `BlockHash` because the type is defined along with all
the other hash types in `hash_types`, leave it as is for now but
re-export it from the `block` module to assist in putting types that are
used together in scope in the same place, making import statements more
ergonomic.
Now we have MSRV of 1.41.1 we can use the `from_le_bytes` and
`to_be_bytes` methods, these became available in Rust 1.32.
Remove the `endian` module replacing its logic with calls to methods on
the respective stdlib integer types.
`impl_array_newtype` is an internal macro, move it to a new, ever so
meaningfully named, `macros` module.
Use `#[macro_export]`, no other changes to the macro.
We are attempting to flatten the `util` module; move the `bip152` module
to the crate root out of `util`.
Currently `src/util/` is ignored by the formatter so this move causes
the `bip152` module to be formatted.
