Move the `merkleblock` module into the `merkle_tree` module in a
submodule called `block`. In order to do the minimum amount of changes
in this patch DO NOT rename types to improved naming and reduce stutter.
Note:
- block module is private
- the three types are re-exported from `merkle_block`
This patch purposefully does the minimum amount of changes because there
a whole bunch of improvements to the old "merkleblock" module that are
coming next.
Currently the types in the block module have longer names than
necessary, "header" and "version" identifiers contain the word "block",
this is unnecessary because we can write `block::Header` instead of
`BlockHeader` when context is required. This allows us to use the naked
type `Header` inside the `block` module with no loss of clarity.
We are stuck with `BlockHash` because the type is defined along with all
the other hash types in `hash_types`, leave it as is for now but
re-export it from the `block` module to assist in putting types that are
used together in scope in the same place, making import statements more
ergonomic.
Recently we renamed the `hash` module to `merkle_root`, this makes the
public functions provided stutter if used with one layer of path as is
Rust convention:
`merkle_root::bitcoin_merkle_root`
We can improve on this by renaming the functions to 'calculate', then we
get
- `merkle_root::calculate()`
- `merkle_root::calculate_inline()`
The `util::hash` module provides two functions for computing a merkle
root from a list/iterator of hashes.
Rename the module to `merkle_root` and move it to the crate root,
deprecate the original functions.
Done as part of flattening the `util` module.
Create a directory `bitcoin` and move into it the following as is with
no code changes:
- src
- Cargo.toml
- contrib
- test_data
- examples
Then do:
- Add a workspace to the repository root directory.
- Add the newly created `bitcoin` crate to the workspace.
- Exclude `fuzz` and `embedded` crates from the workspace.
- Add a contrib/test.sh script that runs contrib/test.sh in each
sub-crate
- Fix the bitcoin/contrib/test.sh script
