Rust macros, while at times useful, are a maintenance nightmare. And
we have been bitten by calling macros from other crates multiple times
in the past.
In a push to just use less macros remove the `debug_from_display`
macro and just write the code.
This is an API breaking change to `internals` but an internal change
only to any of the _real_ crates.
In functions that act like constructors there is a mixture of the usage
of `creates` and `constructs`.
Replace all occurrences of `creates` with `constructs` in the first line
of docs of constructor like functions.
The `Builder` is staying in `bitcoin` while the `ScriptBuf` is moving to
`primitives`, so we cannot access the inner field of `ScriptBuf`.
Use the new `as_byte_vec` hack to mutate the inner `ScriptBuf` field.
The `Script::fmt_asm` function is a legacy from days yore before
`Display` printed asm. We no longer need it.
Deprecate `Script::fmt_asm` and use the private `bytes_to_asm_fmt` or
`Display` impls.
In preparation for moving the `ScritpBuf` type to `primitives` add a
public and private extension trait for the functions we want to leave
here in `bitcoin`.
Note, includes a change to the `difine_extension_trait` metavariable
used on `$gent` from `ident` to `path` to support the generic
`AsRef<PushBytes>`.
In preparation to move script types to `primitives` we replace impl
block with extension traits by replacing the temporary modules with
`define_extension_trait`.
The `absolute` and `relative` locktimes as well as the `Sequence` are
all primitive bitcoin types.
Move the `Sequence`, and `locktime` stuff over to `primitives`.
There is nothing surprising here, the consensus encoding stuff stays in
`bitcoin` and we re-export everything from `blockdata`.
Done in preparation for moving the script types to `primitives`.
The script types have a bunch of functionality to support scriptPubkeys,
and scriptPubkeys are an address thing.
Create a module under `address` and in it create a bunch of extension
traits to hold all scriptPubkey functionality.
Includes adding an ugly-as-hell macro to create the traits.
In the `script` module we currently import `script` types using the
fully qualified path, as recently discussed code is easier to maintain
if we use `super` when `super != crate`.
Internal change only, no external changes.
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.
the `blockdata` directory is code organisation thing, all the
types/modules are re-exported from other places. In preparation for, and
to make easier, the `primitives` crate smashing work - remove all
explicit usage of `blockdata`.
Note that the few instances remain as they seem required e.g.,
`pub(in crate::blockdata::script)`
Refactor only, no logic changes.
Currently we have a mishmash of attribution lines accompanying the SPDX
identifier. These lines are basically meaningless because:
- The date is often wrong
- The original author attributed is not the only contributor to a file
- The term "rust bitcoin developers" is basically just noise
Just remove all the attribution lines and be done with it. While we are
at it add an SPDX line to the few files missing it, whether this license
nonsense is even needed is left as an argument for another day.
We can use `package` to rename `bitcoin_hashes` to `hashes` and
`bitcoin_internals` to `internals`. This makes imports more terse with
no loss of meaning.

Pull request description:
Patch one does the deprecation, the rest of the PR is made up of tiny improvements to the code around reading/writing 'scriptint's (conceptually `CScriptNum`s). I did all this while trying to decipher the discussion on #1547.
### Note Please
There are many more changes in the pipeline for all this read/write "script int" stuff. This PR was done ages ago and I believe it stall adds value.
I re-did the whole PR manually because of the recent `script` module changes. I hope no one else has to do that - if you do please feel free to holla and I'll "rebase" your PR for you.

Lock times are u32 and can necessitate encoding using 5 bytes. As such
they are "special".
Add methods `push_lock_time` and `push_sequence` for pushing absolute
lock times and sequence numbers. We do not push relative locktimes
because they are only 16 bits from the original sequence number.
Our `Builder::push_int` method is the same as Bitcoin Core `CScript`
`push_int64` method. We currently use `OP_FALSE` (equivalent to `OP_0`)
but recently we added `OP_0`, lets use it to make our code better mimic
Core (also saves devs checking that `OP_FALSE` is the same as `OP_0`).
The `script` module is large and unwieldy.
Refactor the `script` module, splitting it up into a tree of modules.
Here are a few of the changes and their stated benefits
- Split the two script types out into separate files: Readers of the
methods can then tell immediately from the file name which type they are
reading.
- Put all the impls for the two script types together: Makes parsing the
API easier because one can more quickly see which traits are implemented
on what i.e., all the `AsRef` imlps are grouped together.
- Put the impls for the two script types in order, first `Script` then
`ScriptBuf`: Makes it easier for us to see if we missed something.
- Put the `Builder` and `Instruction` (and associated) types in their
own modules: Some devs find long files hard to navigate, so far there
hasn't been too much push back against short files.
- Put tests in a separate file: This idea was recently discussed.
This is only moving code and fixing import statements etc. No other
changes to the code.
