Enable all the pedantic lints and fix warnings.
Notable items:
- `enum_glob_used` import types with a single character alias
- `doc_markdown`: add a whitelist that includes SegWit and OpenSSL
These lints are valuable, lets get at em.
Changes are API breaking but because the changes make functions consume
self for types that are `Copy` downstream should not notice the breaks.
The version 1.63 satisfies our requirements for MSRV and provides
significant benefits so this commit bumps it. This commit also starts
using some advantages of the new MSRV, namely namespaced features, weak
dependencies and the ability to use trait bounds in `const` context.
This however does not yet migrade the `rand-std` feature because that
requires a release of `secp256k1` with the same kind of change - bumping
MSRV to 1.63 and removing `rand-std` in favor of weak dependency.
Rust version 1.56.0 introduced edition 2021. Shortly afterwards, on
October 21 2021 Rust version 1.56.1 was released.
Debian stable is currently shipping `rustc 1.63.0`.
Our stated MSRV policy is: In Debian stable and at least 2 years old.
Therefore our MSRV policy is met by Rust version 1.56.1 and we can strat
to bump our MSRV org wide.
Start by bumping the `rust-bitcoin` and `hashes` MSRV to Rust 1.56.1,
includes:
- Update docs.
- Update CI and remove pinning.
- Update the build files and remove now stale cfg attributes rust_v_1_x
for values less than the new MSRV.
- Use new `IntoIterator` for arrays so we no longer need to allocate a
vector to iterate.

When enabled this feature swaps the hash implementation of sha512,
sha256 and ripemd160 for a smaller (but also slower) one.
On embedded processors (Cortex-M4) it can lead to up to a 52% size
reduction, from around 37KiB for just the `process_block` methods of the
three hash functions to 17.8KiB.
We've upgraded MSRV but didn't update clippy config, so some things that
could be improved aren't caught by clippy. This updates the config and
fixes the new issues.
I also `rg '1\.41\.1'`ed for interesting changes and found one
additional improvement.
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.
