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.
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 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.
Throughout the codebase we cast values to `u64` when constructing a
`VarInt`. We can make the code marginally cleaner by adding `From<T>`
impls for all unsigned integer types less than or equal to 64 bits.
Also allows us to (possibly unnecessarily) comment the cast in a single
place.
70fe07f1ce Export the DisplayHex trait from within prelude (Tobin C. Harding)
Pull request description:
We use `internals::hex::display::DisplayHex` in many places, we can improve ergonomics of the `internals` crate by re-exporting it from the `prelude` module.

We use `internals::hex::display::DisplayHex` in many places, we can
improve ergonomics of the `internals` crate by re-exporting it from the
`prelude` module.
The `ToHex` trait was replaced by either simple `Display`/`LowerHex`
where appropriate or `DisplayHex` from `bitcoin_internals` which is
faster.
This change replaces the usages and removes the trait.
