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`.
We do this all over the place in rust-lightning, and its probably
the most common thing to do with a `Witness` so I figured I'd
upstream the util method to do this. It also avoids an allocation
compared to the naive approach of `SerializedSignature.to_vec()`
with two pushes, which is nice.
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.
I think it is more natural to write Wintess::new() followed by Witness::push()
then Witness::default(). In any case, there is no harm in having additional constructors.
Witness struct is in place of the Vec<Vec<u8>> we have before this commit.
from_vec() and to_vec() methods are provided to switch between this type and Vec<Vec<u8>>
Moreover, implementation of Default, Iterator and others allows to have similar behaviour but
using a single Vec prevent many allocations during deserialization which in turns results in
better performance, even 20% better perfomance on recent block.
last() and second_to_last() allows to access respective element without going through costly Vec
transformation
