051c358bcb Remove deprecated legacy numeric methods (Divyansh Gupta)
Pull request description:
As `rustc 1.79.0-nightly (9d79cd5f7 2024-04-05)` is released which solves the issue mentioned , but the release has deperacted legacy numeric methods.
Thus replaced `u16::max_value()` etc with `u32::MAX` & `core::u16` to directly `u16`.
fix#2639

This lint triggers when parsing a reference to a large struct as a
generic argument, which is wrong.
Allow it crate wide because [subjectively] this lint never warns for
anything useful.
Remove the blanket impls of `Read`, `BufRead`, and `Write`. Replace them
with a set of sane impls.
Note, we add code to the `impl_write` macro to implement both
`crate::Write` and `std::io::Write` when "std" feature is
enabled.
Fix: #2432
Currently `Take::read_to_end` is private forcing users to use our
"custom" `read_to_limit`, for seasoned Rust hackers
`foo.take(16).read_to_end(buf)` make be more unsurprising.
Make `read_to_end` public.
Make the trait level attributes uniform across all released crates in
the repo. Excludes things that are obviously not needed, eg, bench stuff
if there is not bench code.
- Remove `uninhabited_references` - this is allow by default now.
- Remove `unconditional_recursion` and mark the single false positive we
have with an `allow`.
Note, this does not add `missing_docs` to the `io` crate. There is an
open PR at the moment to add that along with the required docs.
The `std::io::Read` trait includes `read_to_end` but that method
provides a denial of service attack vector since an unbounded reader
will exhaust all system memory.
Add a method to our `Read` trait called `read_to_limit` that does the
same as `std::io::Read::read_to_end` but with memory exhaustion
protection.
Add a `read_to_end` method on our `Take` trait and call through to it
from the new method on our `Read` trait called `read_to_limit`.
Add a `BufRead` trait for types that perform buffered reading.
Implement it for:
- `Take`
- `Cursor`
- `std::io::BufRead` readers
- (in no-std builds) for slice of u8s
Move error code to a private `error` submodule and re-export it at the
crate root.
(Puts private `sealed` module at the bottom of the file i.e., this patch
is strictly a code move but we re-order the code while moving it.)
Its not immediately obvious why we nest the whole `io` code in an `io`
submodule within `lib.rs`. As far as I can tell we can inline it and
re-export from `rust-bitcoin` same as we do for our other dependencies.
This change would effect other users of the crate but since the `io`
crate is unreleased this effects no-one except us.
In preparation for inlining the `io` molule, move the public macros to a
private `macros` module.
Includes removal of the public re-export of `std` as `_std` - flaggin
this because I do not understand why it is here in the first place, we
can use `std::io::Write` in code that is feature gated on "std".
In order to move towards our own I/O traits in the `rust-bitcoin`
ecosystem, we have to slowly replace our use of the `std` and
`core2` traits.
This is the final step in removing the explicit `core2` dependency
for I/O in no-std - replacing the `io::Error` type with our own.
Sadly the `std::io::Error` type requires `std::error::Error` as a
bound on the inner error, which is rather difficult to duplicate in
a way that allows for mapping to `std` and back.
To take a more general approach, we use bound on any `Debug`
instead.
In order to move towards our own I/O traits in the `rust-bitcoin`
ecosystem, we have to slowly replace our use of the `std` and
`core2` traits.
Here we take the second big step, replacing
`{std,core2}::io::Read` with our own `bitcoin_io::io::Read`. We
provide a blanket impl for our trait for all `std::io::Read`, if
the `std` feature is enabled, allowing users who use their own
streams or `std` streams to call `rust-bitcoin` methods directly.
With the new `bitcoin_io` library, implementing `io::Write`
manually is somewhat tricky - for `std` users we really want to
provide an `std::io::Write` implementation, however for `no-std`
users we want to implement against our internal trait.
Sadly we cannot provide a blanket implementation of
`std::io::Write` for all types whcih implement our `io::Write`
trait as its an out-of-crate impl.
Instead, we provide a macro which will either implement
`std::io::Write` or our `io::Write` depending on the feature flags
set on `bitcoin_io`.

streams or `std` streams to call `rust-bitcoin` methods directly.
In the coming commits we'll move our `io` module to having its own
implementations of the usual I/O traits and structs. Here we first
move to re-exporting only exactly what we need, allowing us to
whittle the list down from a fixed set.
In order to support standard (de)serialization of structs, the
`rust-bitcoin` ecosystem uses the standard `std::io::{Read,Write}`
traits. This works great for environments with `std`, however sadly
the `std::io` module has not yet been added to the `core` crate.
Thus, in `no-std`, the `rust-bitcoin` ecosystem has historically
used the `core2` crate to provide copies of the `std::io` module
without any major dependencies. Sadly, its one dependency,
`memchr`, recently broke our MSRV.
Worse, because we didn't want to take on any excess dependencies
for `std` builds, `rust-bitcoin` has had to have
mutually-exclusive `std` and `no-std` builds. This breaks general
assumptions about how features work in Rust, causing substantial
pain for applications far downstream of `rust-bitcoin` crates.
Here, we add a new `bitcoin_io` crate, making it an unconditional
dependency and using its `io` module in the in-repository crates
in place of `std::io` and `core2::io`. As it is not substantial
additional code, the `hashes` io implementations are no longer
feature-gated.
This doesn't actually accomplish anything on its own, only adding
the new crate which still depends on `core2`.
