We can make the API more ergonomic by taking a generic argument that
implements `Into<secp256k1::PublicKey>` in the `bitcoin::PublicKey`
constructors.
The only thing than this is useful for is passing in `KeyPair` and the
`From` implementation already exists. Add a unit test to verify.
Fix: #1453
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.
In preparation for removing the `util` module move the `base58` module
to the crate root. This is likely not the final resting place for this
module but it is a step in the right direction.
Includes addition of rustfmt attribute to skip formatting the digits
array. No other changes to the `base58` module.
Done as part of flattening util.
Currently in `util` module we have a bunch of modules that provide
cryptography related functionality.
Create a `crypto` module and move into it the following:
- ecdsa
- schnorr
- key
To improve uniformity and ergonomics, do the following re-names while we
are at it:
- EcdsaSig -> ecdsa::Signature
- SchnorrSig -> schnorr::Signature
- EcdsaSigError -> ecdsa::Error
- SchnorrSigError -> schnorr::Error
- InvalidSchnorrSigSize -> InvalidSignatureSize (this is an error enum variant)
