Previously we've only implemented `bitcoin-io` traits for `BufReader` and `BufWriter` with the reasoning that people should most likely use those and implementing for other types is too much work. However since then there were requests to implement them so we do in this commit. |

Rust-Bitcoin IO Library
The std::io module is not exposed in no-std Rust so building no-std applications which require
reading and writing objects via standard traits is not generally possible. Thus, this library exists
to export a minimal version of std::io's traits which we use in rust-bitcoin so that we can
support no-std applications.
These traits are not one-for-one drop-ins, but are as close as possible while still implementing
std::io's traits without unnecessary complexity.
