On the way re-design the API by doing:
- Introduce `Checked` and `Unchecked` tags
- Rename the `txdata` field to `transactions`
- Make the `Block` fields private
- Add getters for `header` and `transactions` fields
- Move the various `compute_` methods to be free standing functions
- Make the `check_` functions private
- Introduce extension traits
There is a range of different wordings used in the docs of constructor
type functions.
Change all to start with `Constructs a new` or `Constructs an empty`.
In functions that act like constructors there is a mixture of the usage
of `creates` and `constructs`.
Replace all occurrences of `creates` with `constructs` in the first line
of docs of constructor like functions.
Up until recently we were using wildcard re-exports for types moved to
`units` and `primitives`. We have decided against doing so in favour of
explicit re-exports.
Audit `units` and `primitives` using `git grep 'pub enum'` (and
`struct`) and explicitly re-export all types.
Remove all wildcards except for the re-exports from `opcodes`, there are
too many opcodes, explicitly re-exporting them does not aid clarity.
The `consensus::encode::Error` contains an IO error but reading from a
buffer only ever errors for EOF. We converted all instances of EOF to
`MissingData` already so now we can split the IO error apart from the
actual encoding errors variants.
We had an initial go at this but we didn't do the `Hash` trait method.
In order to do so we need to hack the serde code a fair bit, note the
public visitor types.

At some stage we named the compact encoding `VarInt` (which makes sense
because the compact size encoding is a variable length integer encoding).
However it turns out the term "varint" is used in Core for a different
encoding so this may lead to confusion.
While we fix this naming thing observe also that the `VarInt` type is
unnecessarily complicated, all we need to be able to do is encode and
decode integers in compact form as specified by Core. We can do this
simply by extending our `WriteExt` and `ReadExt` traits.
Add `emit_compact_size` and `read_compact_size` to emit and read compact
endcodings respectively.
Includes addition of `internals::compact_size::encoded_size_const`.
Patch originally written by Steven, Tobin cherry-picked and did a bunch
of impovements after the varint vs compact_size thing (#1016).

Examples in documentation are not linted in the same way as other code,
but should still contain correctly written code.
unused_imports in docs have been removed in bitcoin, and a warn
attribute added to lib.rs.
Recently we deprecated the `all_zeros` functions on `Wtxid` and
`Txid` but for some reason our usage of them is not triggering a lint
warning.
Note please that this changes logic slightly, for example by using an
array of `0xFF` bytes instead of all zeros. Done in an effort to make it
even more obvious that the value is a dummy value and not mix it up with
the all zeros being used for coinbase thing.
We already explicitly do not support 16 bit machines.
Also, because Rust supports `u182`s one cannot infallibly convert from a
`usize` to a `u64`. This is unergonomic and results in a ton of casts.
We can instead limit our code to running only on machines where `usize`
is less that or equal to 64 bits then the infallible conversion is
possible.
Since 128 bit machines are not a thing yet this does not in reality
introduce any limitations on the library.
Add a "private" trait to the `internals` crate to do infallible
conversion to a `u64` from `usize`.
Implement it for all unsigned integers smaller than `u64` as well so
we have the option to use the trait instead of `u32::from(foo)`.
Add a new trait `TxIdentifier` that abstracts over the `Txid` and
`Wtxid` types. We make `AsRef` a super trait so that the new trait needs
no methods.
Seal the trait so consumers of the library cannot implement it.
Use the new trait in:
- the `bip152` module to tighten up the `with_siphash_keys` function
- as a trait bound on the `Leaf` associated type in the `MerkleNode` trait
Wildcards have been replaced with what is actually used.
In a couple of cases an additional use statement was added to the test
module to import `DisplayHex` which is only used in test, but
previously imported with the wildcard at the top.
Manually implement it for Wtxid, Txid and BlockHash, where the all-zero
"hash" has a consensus meaning. But in general we should not be
implementing this method unless we have a good reason to do so. It can
be emulated or implemeted in terms of from_byte_array.
The use of Wtxid::all_zeros is obscure and specific enough that I am
tempted to drop it. But for txid and blockhash, the 0 hash appears in
actual blockdata and we should keep it.
All other uses of all_zeros were either in test code or in places where
the specific hash was not important and [u8; 32] was a more appropriate
type.
the `blockdata` directory is code organisation thing, all the
types/modules are re-exported from other places. In preparation for, and
to make easier, the `primitives` crate smashing work - remove all
explicit usage of `blockdata`.
Note that the few instances remain as they seem required e.g.,
`pub(in crate::blockdata::script)`
Refactor only, no logic changes.
Drop recursion, reduce memory usage to be logarithmic in size of tree
rather than linear, and put it all in one function rather than three.
Also make the method an trait method on MerkleNode which makes it a
easier on type inference, by writing e.g. TxMerkleNode::calculate_root.
Currently we are defining the two merkle tree hash types in the `block`
module, a better home for them is the `merkle_tree` module.
This is an API breaking change because the types were public in the
`block` module, however the change should/could be unnoticeable to users
if they use the crate level re-export - which is maintained.

Pull request description:
Refactored the `extract_matches_from_merkleblock()` test function following https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin/pull/2859#issuecomment-2161710169.
Moved use statements to the top of the test module and changed it to use one level of path instead of importing the function names. e.g. `encode::serialize()` instead of `serialize()`.
Added the missing comment to the `regression_2606()` test. I was not sure where the hex value came from that was used to test that the deserialization fails. The comment was generated by copilot and may need to be edited, it does fit with the error given by deserialize: `OversizedVectorAllocation { requested: 12811880876963004416, max: 4000000 }`.

18b2788a5a api: Run just check-api (Tobin C. Harding)
6b7d02e5ae Add inherent functions to hashes (Tobin C. Harding)
Pull request description:
Currently we have a trait `Hash` that is required for `Hmac`, `Hkdf`, and other use cases. However, it is unegonomic for users who just want to do a simple hash to have to import the trait.
Add inherent functions to all hash types including those created with the new wrapper type macros.
This patch introduces some duplicate code but we are trying to make progress in the hashes API re-write. We can come back and de-dublicate later.
Includes making `to_byte_array`,`from_byte_array`, `as_byte_array`, and `all_zeros` const where easily possible.

Rust nightly as of 2024-05-27 has a new lint which detects list items
which are continued by a non-indented line. Markdown treats these as
single list items, which they sometimes are, but sometimes we intended
them to be on a separate line.
Also changes the docs for `UntweakedKeypair::tap_tweak` because the
existing ones were overly technical and out-of-date.
Currently we use the `Hash` trait in a bunch of places to call
`all_zeros`. We are attempting to improve the `hashes` API and this
usage is both unnecessary and also hindering that effort.
Use the concrete type (e.g. `BlockHash`) instead of calling through the
trait method.
Refactor only, no logic changes.
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).
We have a convention in `rust-bitcoin` to use external crates directly
when importing them not via `crate::foo`.
Update all the import paths for `io` to use this form.
Improve the public exports in two ways:
1. Inline re-exports into the docs of the module that re-exports them.
2. Separate public and private use statements
Recently we discussed a way to separate the public and private import
statements to make the code more clear and prevent `rustfmt` joining
them all together.
Separate public exports using a code block and `#[rustfmt::skip]`. Has
the nice advantage of reducing the number of `#[doc(inline)]` attributes
also.
1. Modules first, as they are part of the project's structure.
2. Private imports
3. Public re-exports (using `rustfmt::skip` to prevent merge)
Use the format
```rust
mod xyz;
mod abc;
use ...;
pub use {
...,
};
```
