Pull request description:
Please note, whether or not we need a per-file license comment is out of scope for this PR. This PR leaves us with the most simple per-file solution possible and leaves the merit of per-file license comment to be discussed on another day.
Simplify the per-file license stuff by doing:
- Remove the attribution line from each file.
Currently we have a mishmash of attribution lines accompanying the SPDX identifier. These lines are basically meaningless because:
- The date is often wrong
- The original author attributed is not the only contributor to a file
- The term "rust bitcoin developers" is basically just noise
- Introduce SPDX license identifiers into `hashes` and remove attribution line (ie, make `hashes` uniform with `bitcoin`)
Required before merge please:
- [x] ack from apoelstra because as the library original author many of the changes in this PR remove his name
- [x] ack from Kixunil because he had some concerns in the issue descussion

Currently we have a mishmash of attribution lines accompanying the SPDX
identifier. These lines are basically meaningless because:
- The date is often wrong
- The original author attributed is not the only contributor to a file
- The term "rust bitcoin developers" is basically just noise
Just remove all the attribution lines and be done with it. While we are
at it add an SPDX line to the few files missing it, whether this license
nonsense is even needed is left as an argument for another day.
Currently we implement string parsing for height/time from the
`absolute` module but not the `relative` module.
Improve the macros used to implement string parsing and use the new
versions to implement string parsing for the height and time types in
`relative`.
Use of general-purpose integers is often error-prone and annoying. We're
working towards improving it by introducing newtypes.
This adds newtypes for weight and fee rate to make fee computation
easier and more readable. Note however that this dosn't change the type
for individual parts of the transaction since computing the total weight
is not as simple as summing them up and we want to avoid such confusion.
