The exact code formatting we use is not as important as uniformity.
Since we do not use tooling to control the formatting we have to be
vigilant ourselves. Recently I (Tobin) changed the way default type
parameters were formatted (arbitrarily but uniformly). Turns out I
picked the wrong way, there is already a convention as shown in the rust
documentation online (e.g. [1]).
Use 'conventional' spacing for default type parameters. Make the change
across the whole repository, found using
git grep '\<.* = .*\>'

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.
This is the initial step towards using and maybe enforcing clippy.
It does not fix all lints as some are not applicable. They may be
explicitly ignored later.
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.
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.
