Fix#1020 (see more relevant discussion there)
This definitely makes the amount of generics compiler
has to generate by avoding generating the same functions
for `R`, &mut R`, `&mut &mut R` and so on.

In the unit-test binary itself, it saves ~100KB of data.
I did not expect much performance gains, but turn out I was wrong(*):

(*) - I'm benchmarking on a noisy laptop. Take this with a grain of salt. But I think
at least it doesn't make anything slower.
While doing all this manual labor that will probably generate conflicts,
I took a liberty of changing generic type names and variable names to
`r` and `R` (reader) and `w` and `W` for writer.

Pull request description:
Rust has naming conventions surrounding conversion functions
We have a handful of methods that are not following convention. This PR is done as three patches, separated by incorrect function name (`into_` or `as_`) and by whether or not the original method needs deprecating. Can be squashed if folks prefer.
From the docs: https://rust-lang.github.io/api-guidelines/naming.html
<h2><a class="header" href="https://rust-lang.github.io/api-guidelines/naming.html#ad-hoc-conversions-follow-as_-to_-into_-conventions-c-conv" id="ad-hoc-conversions-follow-as_-to_-into_-conventions-c-conv">Ad-hoc conversions follow <code>as_</code>, <code>to_</code>, <code>into_</code> conventions (C-CONV)</a></h2>
<p>Conversions should be provided as methods, with names prefixed as follows:</p>
Prefix | Cost | Ownership
-- | -- | --
as_ | Free | borrowed -> borrowed
to_ | Expensive | borrowed -> borrowed
| | | borrowed -> owned (non-Copy types)
| | | owned -> owned (Copy types)
into_ | Variable | owned -> owned (non-Copy types)
EDIT: I did actually audit all uses of `to_` when I first did this, I did this by grepping for `fn to_` and checking the output against the table.

Rust convention is to use `to_` for conversion methods that convert from
an owned type to an owned `Copy` type. `as_` is for borrowed to borrowed
types.
Re-name and deprecate conversion methods that use `as_` for owned to
owned `Copy` types to use `to_`.

cargo fix --edition
No manual changes made. The result of the command above is just to fix
all the use statements (add `crate::`) and fix the fully qualified path
formats i.e., `::Foo` -> `crate::Foo`.
In this library we specifically do not use rustfmt and tend to favour
terse statements that do not use extra lines unnecessarily. In order to
help new devs understand the style modify code that seems to use an
unnecessary number of lines.
None of these changes should reduce the readability of the code.
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.
This is instead of encode::Errors because the encoders should
not be allowed to return errors that don't originate in the writer
they are writing into.
This is a part of the method definition that has been relied upon for a
while already.
- Move network::encodable::* to consensus::encode::*
- Rename Consensus{En,De}codable to {En,De}codable (now under
consensus::encode)
- Move network::serialize::Error to consensus::encode::Error
- Remove Raw{En,De}coder, implement {En,De}coder for T: {Write,Read}
instead
- Move network::serialize::Simple{En,De}coder to
consensus::encode::{En,De}coder
- Rename util::Error::Serialize to util::Error::Encode
- Modify comments to refer to new names
- Modify files to refer to new names
- Expose {En,De}cod{able,er}, {de,}serialize, Params
- Do not return Result for serialize{,_hex} as serializing to a Vec
should never fail
- Add serialize::Error::ParseFailed(&'static str) variant for
serialization errors without context
- Add appropriate variants to replace network::Error::Detail for
serialization error with context
- Remove error method from SimpleDecoders
- Separate serialize::Error and network::Error from util::Error
- Remove unneeded propagate_err and consume_err
- Change fuzzing code to ignore Err type

started doing whitespace changes as well, I want everything to
be 4-space tabs from now on.
BTW after all this is done I'm gonna indent the entire codebase...
so `git blame` is gonna be totally broken anyway, hence my
capricious cadence of commits.
Looks like to implement the crypto opcodes I may need to switch from
rust-crypto to rust-openssl.. or implement RIPEMD-160 for rust-crypto.
In either case I will need to generalize the hash.rs stuff to support
other hashes, so I'm committing here as a checkpoint before doing all
that.
