In the past we've been using `chunks_exact` because const generics were
unstable but then, when they were stabilized we didn't use `as_chunks`
(or `array_chunks`) since they were unstable. But the instability was
only because Rust devs don't know how to handle `0` being passed in. The
function is perfectly implementable on stable. (With a tiny,
easy-to-understand `unsafe` block.) `core` doesn't want to make a
decision for all other crates yet but we can make it for our own crates
because we know that we simply never pass zero. (And even if we did, we
could just change the decision.)
It also turns out there's a hack to simulate `const {}` block in our
MSRV, so we can make compilation fail early.
This commit adds an extension trait to internals to provide the methods,
so we no longer have to use `chunks_exact`. It also cleans up the code
quite nicely.
New nightly lint warning "called `Iterator::last` on a
`DoubleEndedIterator`; this will needlessly iterate the entire iterator"
Code that gives the warning is correct, allow the lint to remove the
warning.

There is a range of different wordings used in the docs of constructor
type functions.
Change all to start with `Constructs a new` or `Constructs an empty`.
In functions that act like constructors there is a mixture of the usage
of `creates` and `constructs`.
Replace all occurrences of `creates` with `constructs` in the first line
of docs of constructor like functions.
We had an initial go at this but we didn't do the `Hash` trait method.
In order to do so we need to hack the serde code a fair bit, note the
public visitor types.
The version 1.63 satisfies our requirements for MSRV and provides
significant benefits so this commit bumps it. This commit also starts
using some advantages of the new MSRV, namely namespaced features, weak
dependencies and the ability to use trait bounds in `const` context.
This however does not yet migrade the `rand-std` feature because that
requires a release of `secp256k1` with the same kind of change - bumping
MSRV to 1.63 and removing `rand-std` in favor of weak dependency.
d099b9c195 Remove wildcard from prelude import (Jamil Lambert, PhD)
Pull request description:
This patch replaces `prelude::*` wildcard imports with the types actually used. In a couple of cases `DisplayHex` was previously imported by the wildcard but was only used in the test module, an additional import was added to the test module instead of at the top where it causes an unused import warning.

Wildcards have been replaced with what is actually used.
In a couple of cases an additional use statement was added to the test
module to import `DisplayHex` which is only used in test, but
previously imported with the wildcard at the top.
Currently there are a couple of errors in the `taproot` module that are
too general, resulting in functions that return a general error type
when a specific one would do.
Split two errors out and use them for for enum variants and function
returns as possible.
Since the iterator created by `IntoIterator` should be called `IntoIter`
we move the whole `TaprootMerkleBranch` to its own module which contains
the type to avoid confusion. This has an additional benefit of reducing
the scope where the invariant could be broken. This already uncovered
that our internal code was abusing access to the private field (although
the code was correct).
To implement the iterator we simply delegate to `vec::IntoIter`,
including overriding the default method which are likely to be
implemented by `Vec` more optimally. We avoid exposing `vec::IntoIter`
directly since we may want to change the representation (e.g. to
`ArrayVec`).
