Looks like to implement the crypto opcodes I may need to switch from
rust-crypto to rust-openssl.. or implement RIPEMD-160 for rust-crypto.
In either case I will need to generalize the hash.rs stuff to support
other hashes, so I'm committing here as a checkpoint before doing all
that.
This is a massive simplification, fixes a couple endianness bugs (though
not all of them I don't think), should give a speedup, gets rid of the
`serialize_iter` crap.
I think this is what I want to do for everything json-visible...perhaps
I will not be able to keep the macro for it though, since there are
some clever variations on it (e.g. blocks should have their header's
hash as a field, txes should appear as txids unless vebose output is
requested, etc.)
We were conflicting with the Rust stdlib trait Hash, which is used
by various datastructures which need a general hash. Also implement
Hash for Sha256dHash so that we can use bitcoin hashes as keys for
such data structures.
