Our decoding code reads bytes in very small chunks. Which is not
efficient when dealing with the OS where the cost of a context switch is
significant. People could already buffer the data but it's easy to
forget it by accident.
This change requires the new `io::BufRead` trait instead of `io::Read`
in all bounds.
Code such as `Transaction::consensus_decode(&mut File::open(foo))` will
break after this is applied, uncovering the inefficiency.
This was originally Kix's work, done before we had the `io` crate.
Changes to `bitcoin` were originally his, any new mistakes are my own.
Changes to `io` are mine.

There is no advantage in having `io::Read` as opposed to `Read` and
importing the trait. It is surprising that we do so.
Remove `io::` path from `io::Read` and `io::Write`. Some docs keep the
path, leave them as is. Add import `use io::{Read, Write}`.
Refactor only, no logic changes.
We would like all the various hash types to be defined where they
rightly live instead of in the `hash_types` module.
Move transaction hash types to the `transaction` module.
We would like all the various hash types to be defined where they

Move the block hash types to the `block` module. While moving, add full
stops to the rustdoc of each hash.
Re-export _all four_ types from lib.rs (previously `WitnessMerkleNode`
was not re-exported).
The `PROTOCOL_VERSION` const is a p2p layer constant. It can live in the
`mod.rs` file of the `p2p` module.
This is a straight code move, the `PROTOCOL_VERSION` replaces the
current re-export.
The `network` module deals with data types and logic related to
internetworking bitcoind nodes, this is commonly referred to as the p2p
layer.
Rename the `network` module to `p2p` and fix all the paths.
