When `rust-bitcoin` was started in 2014 the SPDX license list and short
identifiers where not a thing. Now that we have short identifiers and
they are gaining popularity in other projects we can consider using
them.
- Add links to the SPDX website in the readme
- Shorten the author section to a single line
- Remove all the licence information in each file and replace it with an
SPDX ID (see https://spdx.dev/ids/#how)
Of note:
- If the author of a file is explicitly listed, maintain this
information
- If the 'author' is listed as the generic 'Rust Bitcoin developers'
just remove the attribution, this is implicit. This does loose the date
info but that can be seen at any time from the git index using
`git log --follow --format=%ad --date default <FILE> | tail -1`
Clippy warns about creating a reference that is immediately
de-referenced.
Remove unnecessary explicit `&`, while we are at it remove unnecessary
explicit types that appear on the same lines of code.

Pull request description:
As part of the ongoing error improvement work and as a direct result of [this comment](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin/pull/987#issuecomment-1135563287) improve the `Display` implementations of all our error types so as to not repeat the source error when printing.
The first 5 patches are trivial clean ups around the errors. Patch 6 is the real work.
EDIT: ~CC @Kixunil, have I got the right idea here bro?~ Patch 6 now includes a macro as suggested.

ACK 57dd6739c3. Did not check if we covered all cases. We need to remember to use `write_err!` instead of `write!` in future.

Adding an error variant to a public enum is an API breaking change, this
means making what could be small refactorings or improvements harder. If
we use `non_exhaustive` for error types then we mitigate this cost.
There is a tradeoff however, downstream users who explicitly match on
our public error types must include a wildcard pattern.
We implement `source` for all our error types. This means that we should
not display the source error explicitly because users can call `source`
to get the source error.
However, `std::Error::source()` is only available for "std" builds, so
that we do not loose the error source information in "no-std" builds add
a macro that conditionally adds the source onto the error message.
Use cargo to upgrade from edition 2015 to edition 2018.
cargo fix --edition
No manual changes made. The result of the command above is just to fix
all the use statements (add `crate::`) and fix the fully qualified path
formats i.e., `::Foo` -> `crate::Foo`.
The exact code formatting we use is not as important as uniformity.
Since we do not use tooling to control the formatting we have to be
vigilant ourselves. Recently I (Tobin) changed the way default type
parameters were formatted (arbitrarily but uniformly). Turns out I
picked the wrong way, there is already a convention as shown in the rust
documentation online (e.g. [1]).
Use 'conventional' spacing for default type parameters. Make the change
across the whole repository, found using
git grep '\<.* = .*\>'

We have a few instances of strange indentation:
- Incorrect number of characters
- Usage of neither "Block" style or "View" style (elect to use "Block")
This is the initial step towards using and maybe enforcing clippy.
It does not fix all lints as some are not applicable. They may be
explicitly ignored later.
Docs can always do with a bit of love.
Clean up the module level (`//!`) rustdocs for all public modules.
I claim uniform is better than any specific method/style. I tried to fit
in with what ever was either most sane of most prevalent, therefore
attaining uniformity without unnecessary code churn (one exception being
the changes to headings described below).
Notes:
* Headings - use heading as a regular sentence for all modules e.g.,
```
//! Bitcoin network messages.
```
as opposed to
```
//! # Bitcoin Network Messages
```
It was not clear which style to use so I picked a 'random' mature
project and copied their style.
* Added 'This module' in _most_ places as the start of the module
description, however I was not religious about this one.
* Fixed line length if necessary since most of our code seems to follow
short (80 char) line lengths for comments anyways.
* Added periods and fixed obvious (and sometimes not so obvious)
grammatically errors.
* Added a trailing `//!` to every block since this was almost universal
already. I don't really like this one but I'm guessing it is Andrew's
preferred style since its on the copyright notices as well.
This documents cargo features in two ways: explictly in text and in code
using `#[doc(cfg(...))]` attribute where possible. Notably, this is
impossible for `serde` derives. The attribute is contitional and only
activated for docs.rs or explicit local builds.
This change also adds `package.metadata.docs.rs` field to `Cargo.toml`
which instructs docs.rs to build with relevant features and with
`docsrs` config activated enabling `#[doc(cfg(...))] attributes.
I also took the opportunity to fix a few missing spaces in nearby code.
Based on the original work by Justin Moon.
*MSRV unchanged from 1.29.0.*
When `std` is off, `no-std` must be on, and we use the [`alloc`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/alloc/) and core2 crates. The `alloc` crate requires the user define a global allocator.
* Import from `core` and `alloc` instead of `std`
* `alloc` only used if `no-std` is on
* Create `std` feature
* Create `no-std` feature which adds a core2 dependency to polyfill `std::io` features. This is an experimental feature and should be
used with caution.
* CI runs tests `no-std`
* MSRV for `no-std` is 1.51 or so
Taking an external dependency just to convert ints to byte arrays
is somewhat of a waste, especially when Rust isn't very aggressive
about doing cross-crate LTO.
Note that the latest LLVM pattern-matches this, and while I haven't
tested it, that should mean this means no loss of optimization.
Addresses #96.
Turns out it was being used for hex encoding/decoding, so replaced that with the `hex` crate.
i chose to import the `decode` method as:
```
use hex::decode as hex_decode
```
so that it is clear to the reader what is being decoded when it is called. "decode" is such a generic sounding function name that it would get confusing otherwise.
Work is stalled on some other library work (to give better lifetime
requirements on `eventual::Future` and avoid some unsafety), so
committing here.
There are only three errors left in this round :)
Also all the indenting is done, so there should be no more massive
rewrite commits. Depending how invasive the lifetime-error fixes
are, I may even be able to do sanely sized commits from here on.
27 files changed, 3944 insertions(+), 3812 deletions(-) :} I've
started doing whitespace changes as well, I want everything to
be 4-space tabs from now on.
BTW after all this is done I'm gonna indent the entire codebase...
so `git blame` is gonna be totally broken anyway, hence my
capricious cadence of commits.
