The rust version is supposed to be set by the build script so that users
automagically get features matching the toolchain in use. Currently we
have a feature in the manifest for `rustv_1_53` instead setting a
compiler conditional configuration option in the build script. This
causes `cargo +1.41.1 --all-features check` to fail.
In some protocols it is preferred to serialize consensus-encodable types
using consensus encoding. E.g. serialize `Transaction` as hex-encoded
string in Json in Bitcoin Core RPC protocol. This change provides
adapter to make this easier.
The adapter allows providing custom byte-to-string encoder for more
exotic cases and provides a hex implementation which should be useful in
majority of the cases.
Should help with #765
