b7a84d0c68 hashes: Do not implement Deref (Tobin C. Harding)
Pull request description:
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.
This is an API breaking change, and I have not built any other crates in our stack to check if anything breaks.
