Currently we implement `Deref` for hashes. From the docs [0]
> Deref should only be implemented for smart pointers to avoid confusion
Furthermore because we implement `Deref` as well as implement
`internals::hex::display::DisplayHex` for slices hashes get coerced into
slices and `to_lower_hex_string` can be called on them, this is
incorrect because `DisplayHex` does not account for hashes that display
backwards so we end up with the wrong string.

Recently clippy was updated and now new warnings are generated for the
`hashes` crate.
Clippy emits 3 warnings of form:
warning: this expression borrows a value the compiler would automatically borrow
As suggested, remove the explicit borrow.
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.
