When `rust-bitcoin` was started in 2014 the SPDX license list and short
identifiers where not a thing. Now that we have short identifiers and
they are gaining popularity in other projects we can consider using
them.
- Add links to the SPDX website in the readme
- Shorten the author section to a single line
- Remove all the licence information in each file and replace it with an
SPDX ID (see https://spdx.dev/ids/#how)
Of note:
- If the author of a file is explicitly listed, maintain this
information
- If the 'author' is listed as the generic 'Rust Bitcoin developers'
just remove the attribution, this is implicit. This does loose the date
info but that can be seen at any time from the git index using
`git log --follow --format=%ad --date default <FILE> | tail -1`
Do various whitespace refactorings, of note:
- Use space around equals e.g., 'since = "blah"'
- Put return/break/continue on separate line
Whitespace only, no logic changes.
Docs can always do with a bit of love.
Clean up the module level (`//!`) rustdocs for all public modules.
I claim uniform is better than any specific method/style. I tried to fit
in with what ever was either most sane of most prevalent, therefore
attaining uniformity without unnecessary code churn (one exception being
the changes to headings described below).
Notes:
* Headings - use heading as a regular sentence for all modules e.g.,
```
//! Bitcoin network messages.
```
as opposed to
```
//! # Bitcoin Network Messages
```
It was not clear which style to use so I picked a 'random' mature
project and copied their style.
* Added 'This module' in _most_ places as the start of the module
description, however I was not religious about this one.
* Fixed line length if necessary since most of our code seems to follow
short (80 char) line lengths for comments anyways.
* Added periods and fixed obvious (and sometimes not so obvious)
grammatically errors.
* Added a trailing `//!` to every block since this was almost universal
already. I don't really like this one but I'm guessing it is Andrew's
preferred style since its on the copyright notices as well.
The `serde_struct_impl!` macro has been modified to be compatible
with the serde 1.0 crate, we use this macro and not the `serde_derive`
crate because the latter doesn't support Rust 1.14.0 which is shipped
on Debian stable and we should remain compatible with it.
Two new features were added:
- "serde": enables serialization/deserialization for common types, it pulls
the serde 1.0 dependency.
- "serde-decimal": enables serialization/deserialization for `UDecimal`/`Decimal`,
this pulls the strason 0.4 depdendency and the serde 1.0 dependency.
