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.
Recently we (*cough* Tobin) made the `Map` trait private and neglected
to add a public API for combining together two PSBTs. Doing so broke the
`psbt` module.
Pull the merge logic out of the `Map` trait and put it in methods on
each individual type (`Input`, `Output`, `PartiallySignedTransaction`).
Doing so allows for simplification of return types since combining
inputs/outputs never errors.
Use the term 'combine' instead of 'merge' since that is the term used in
BIP 174.
The method implementation of `insert_pair` is currently not used for
`PartiallySignedTransaction`. Having an implementation available is
deceiving.
Delete the unused `insert_pair` code from
`PartiallySignedTransaction` (dead code). Make the `insert_pair` methods
from `Input` and `Output` be standalone functions.
Based on the original work by Justin Moon.
*MSRV unchanged from 1.29.0.*
When `std` is off, `no-std` must be on, and we use the [`alloc`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/alloc/) and core2 crates. The `alloc` crate requires the user define a global allocator.
* Import from `core` and `alloc` instead of `std`
* `alloc` only used if `no-std` is on
* Create `std` feature
* Create `no-std` feature which adds a core2 dependency to polyfill `std::io` features. This is an experimental feature and should be
used with caution.
* CI runs tests `no-std`
* MSRV for `no-std` is 1.51 or so
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.
