On our way to v1.0.0 we are defining a standard for our error types,
this includes:
- Uses the following derives (unless not possible, usually because of `io::Error`)
`#[derive(Debug, Clone, PartialEq, Eq)]`
- Has `non_exhaustive` unless we really know we can commit to not adding
anything.
Furthermore, we are trying to make the codebase easy to read. Error code
is write-once-read-many (well it should be) so if we make all the error
code super uniform the users can flick to an error and quickly see what
it includes. In an effort to achieve this I have made up a style and
over recent times have change much of the error code to that new style,
this PR audits _all_ error types in the code base and enforces the
style, specifically:
- Is layed out: definition, [impl block], Display impl, error::Error impl, From impls
- `error::Error` impl matches on enum even if it returns `None` for all variants
- Display/Error impls import enum variants locally
- match uses *self and `ref e`
- error::Error variants that return `Some` come first, `None` after
Re: non_exhaustive
To make dev and review easier I have added `non_exhaustive` to _every_
error type. We can then remove it error by error as we see fit. This is
because it takes a bit of thinking to do and review where as this patch
should not take much brain power to review.
These docs do not add that much value, we do not typically bother
documenting `From` and `TryFrom` implementations because they are super
well known and its obvious from the function signature what is going on.
Done as part of the push to have small specific errors instead of large
general ones.
Split the `witness_version::Error` up into small specific errors.
From BIP 141:
> A scriptPubKey (or redeemScript as defined in BIP16/P2SH) that

`WitnessVersion` and `WitnessProgram` are scriptPubkey concerns and
scriptPubkey is basically synonymous with address so in one way it makes
sense that these types are in `address` however we are in the process of
overhauling the `Address` (and `AddressInner`) types so lets move the
witness stuff to `script` and put it in individual sub-modules.
This move helps simplify the address error type also.
Note please, there are a bunch of formatting changes in here in the
error type that I cannot explain and could not remove.
