Merge rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin#2633: CI: Re-write `run_task.sh`
26b9782d8b CI: Re-write run_task.sh (Tobin C. Harding)

Pull request description:

  Recently we re-wrote CI to increase VM level parallelism, in hindsite this has proved to be not that great because:

  - It resulted in approx 180 jobs
  - We are on free tier so only get 20 jobs (VMs) at a time so its slow to run
  - The UI is annoying to dig through the long job list to find failures

  Have another go at organising the jobs with the main aim of shortening total run time and making it easier to quickly see fails.

  Re-write the `run_task.sh` script, notable moving manifest handling to the workflow. Also don't bother testing with beta toolchain.

  ### Note on review

  The diff is hard to read for `rust.yml`, I tried splitting out a bunch of separate patches but it resulted in the same thing (because there are so many identical lines in the yaml file). I suggest just looking at the yaml file and not the diff.

Bitcoin base58 encoding

This crate provides encoding and decoding of base58 strings as defined by the Bitcoin ecosystem including the checksum.

There are a bunch of crates on crates.io that implement base58 encoding and decoding. The more obviously named ones differ from this crate because:

  1. bitcoin-base58 is transpiled from the C++ code in Bitcoin Core as part of a large long-term transpilation project, whereas this crate is a pure Rust implementation intended to be production-ready and to provide an Rust-idiomatic API.

  2. base58 implements parsing but does not validate checksums (see base58check). It may be appropriate in cases where performance is more important than safety. Appears unmaintained.

  3. base58check Adds checksum to the base58 crate and depends on sha2 for hashing. Appears unmaintained.

This crate uses bitcoin_hashes when hashing to calculate the checksum.

Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV)

This library should always compile with any combination of features on Rust 1.56.1.
