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.
We continue to support only compressed keys when doing key derivation,
but de/serialization of uncompressed keys will now work, and it will
be easier/more consistent to implement PSBT on top of this.
The `serde_struct_impl!` macro has been modified to be compatible
with the serde 1.0 crate, we use this macro and not the `serde_derive`
crate because the latter doesn't support Rust 1.14.0 which is shipped
on Debian stable and we should remain compatible with it.
Two new features were added:
- "serde": enables serialization/deserialization for common types, it pulls
the serde 1.0 dependency.
- "serde-decimal": enables serialization/deserialization for `UDecimal`/`Decimal`,
this pulls the strason 0.4 depdendency and the serde 1.0 dependency.

- Add derive_pub to ExtendedPubKey
- Add derive_priv to ExtendedPrivKey
- Removed from_path from ExtendedPrivKey as it is superseded by
derive_priv
- Add checking of derive_pub and derive_priv to test_path
- Add checking of correct error when invoking ckd_pub on a hardened
ChildNumber
- Add test vector 3 from BIP32 specification
There seemed to be some confusion as to whether the internal
represenation of a ChildNumber is supposed to be the index (0..2^31-1
for _both_ Normal and Hardened) or the actual number (0..2^31-1 for
Normal and 2^31..2^32-1 for Hardened). This commits fixes this
confusion.
- Make clear that the internal representation is the index rather
than the actual number
- Make the internal representation non-public
- Provide methods for creating valid ChildNumbers
- Change relevant callers and tests to conform to this new ChildNumber
My rationale for using index rather than the actual number as internal
representation is that the difference between the two enum variants
already encode wether a ChildNumber is a normal one or a hardened one,
so the only bit of extra information left to be encoded is its index.
ExtendedPubKey and ExtendedPrivKey implemented `ToString` directly but
Rust documentation says to implement `Display` and get the `ToString`
implementation for free.

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.
