P2WPKH requires keys to be compressed which introduces error handling
even in cases when it's statically known that a key is compressed. To
avoid it, this change introduces `CompressedPublicKey` which is similar
to `PublicKey` except it's statically known to be compressed.
This also changes relevant code to use `CompressedPublicKey` instead of
`PublicKey`.
Seems we no longer need an explicit error handler, remove it.
I did not grok the reason (long thread link below) but just removed it
and checked that the embedded crates still ran correctly.

We would like to bring the `bitcoin_hashes` crate into the
`rust-bitcoin` repository.
Import `bitcoin_hashes` into `rust-bitocin/hashes`, doing so looses all
the commit history from the original crate but if we archive the
original repository then the history will be preserved. We maintain the
same version number obviously and in the changelog we note the change of
repository.
Commit hash that was tip of `bitcoin_hashes` at time of import:
commit 54c16249e06cc6b7870c7fc07d90f489d82647c7
Includes making `embedded` and `fuzzing` per-crate i.e., move them into
`bitcoin` as hashes includes these also.
NOTE: Does _not_ enable fuzzing for `hashes` in CI.
Notes on CI:
Attempts to merge in the github actions from the hashes crate however reduces
coverage by not running hashes tests for beta toolchain. Some additional
work could be done to improve the CI to increase efficiency without
reducing coverage. Leaving for another day.
