In preparation for dropping the first release candidate bump the version
and add a changelog.
Please not I went to much more effort that usual with the changelog,
open to review on the overall form - not promising I'll change it but
definitely would like to keep iterating and improving.
If this changelog is appreciated then FWIW I don't think we should
bother automating it, a machine does not have all the context required
to create it.
Currently `bitcoin` cannot be built with no features enabled, it must
have either "no-std" or "std" enabled. This is an artifact from when
we depended on `core2` for "no-std", now that we have our own `io` crate
and we unconditionally depend on it we can remove the "no-std" feature.
Rust version 1.56.0 introduced edition 2021. Shortly afterwards, on
October 21 2021 Rust version 1.56.1 was released.
Debian stable is currently shipping `rustc 1.63.0`.
Our stated MSRV policy is: In Debian stable and at least 2 years old.
Therefore our MSRV policy is met by Rust version 1.56.1 and we can strat
to bump our MSRV org wide.
Start by bumping the `rust-bitcoin` and `hashes` MSRV to Rust 1.56.1,
includes:
- Update docs.
- Update CI and remove pinning.
- Update the build files and remove now stale cfg attributes rust_v_1_x
for values less than the new MSRV.
- Use new `IntoIterator` for arrays so we no longer need to allocate a
vector to iterate.

During the last round of releases (bitcoin 0.30, hashes 0.12) we removed
the `FromHex` implementation from all types except vecs and arrays. We
added `FromStr` impls for types that roundtrip with `Display`.
We never added a changelog mention to either `bitcoin` or `hashes`, lets
retroactively add an entry.
Fix: #1747
Recently we added a workspace but left the CHANGELOG file at the
repository root, this is incorrect because the CHANGELOG is a per crate
thing since it is updated along with crate release.
