896e6c7f2d Introduce SPDX license identifiers (Tobin C. Harding)
Pull request description:
Licenses are boring as hell, so is are all the comments at the top of each file. This patch makes no comment on the merit of license comments in each file, rather this patch reduces the license comment to the minimum possible with no loss of meaning - an SPDX license identifier.
Note also please that we remove the "written by" comments as well for the following reasons (discussed recently on rust-bitcoin repo):
- they are not descriptive because many devs contributed

2ae7ca9cf2 secp-sys: update README for new vendoring script (Andrew Poelstra)
4b02e9c405 run new vendor-libsecp.sh; fix upstream CHANGELOG. (Andrew Poelstra)
b58a60fd6c rewrite ./vendor-libsecp.sh (Andrew Poelstra)
Pull request description:
For Nix purposes I need the revendoring script to work without network access and without user interaction. I also realized it would be convenient if the script could figure out what the right version prefix is supposed to be. Then I noticed some shellcheck issues.
Anyway I just rewrote the whole thing. I'm now able to run this script within nix and vet that the current contents of the `depend/` directory are consistent with the secp256k1-HEAD-revision.txt, for all commits.

Note: Only effects code when fuzzing is enabled, as such does not
include a mention in the changelog.
Now that we have Rust 1.48 as the MSRV we no longer need the custom
implementations of `PartialEq`, `Eq`, `PartialOrd`, `Ord`, and `Hash`.
We can just let users of the `impl_array_newtype` macro derive these
traits if they want them.
Remove the custom implementations and add derives to our two users of
the macro.
We are upgrading the MSRV across the whole Rust Bitcoin ecosystem.
Update the README, clippy config file, and CI to use the new MSRV.
Changes to use the new MSRV will be done later.
Add mention of MSRV to `secp256k1-sys`, add unreleased section to both
changelogs.
This rewrite:
* Fixes some shellcheck issues (bad quoting, use of | instead of ||
near the beginning of the file)
* Automatically computes the version prefix, depend directory, etc.,
and provides instructions to override this with env vars if the
user really wants to do this.
* Detects when it would be destructive and refuses to run unless
passed the -f flag, rather than prompting the user for a yes/no
* Adds the capability to use cp rather than git clone, which I need
to run this from within Nix.
* Whitelists CHANGELOG.md which shouldn't get substituted.
We are ready to release a new minor version of `secp256k1-sys`, in order
to do so we must make change the symbol names to reflect the new version
as well as the usual changelog and version bump.
In preparation for releasing `secp256k1-sys` v0.8.1 do:
- Rename symbols to from `0_8_0` -> `0_8_1`, done mechanically (search
and replace)
- Add changes log notes (includes changelog entry for 0.8.0)
- Bump `secp256k1-sys` crate version 0.8.0 -> 0.8.1, justified because
we have added a new public function.
This PR implements a `non_secure_erase()` method on SecretKey,
KeyPair, SharedSecret, Scalar, and DisplaySecret. The purpose
of this method is to (attempt to) overwrite secret data with
valid default values. This method can be used by libraries
to implement Zeroize on structs containing secret values.
`non_secure_erase()` attempts to avoid being optimized away or
reordered using the same mechanism as the zeroize crate: first,
using `std::ptr::write_volatile` (which will not be optimized
away) to overwrite the memory, then using a memory fence to
prevent subtle issues due to load or store reordering.
Note, however, that this method is *very unlikely* to do anything
useful on its own. Effective use involves carefully placing these
values inside non-Copy structs and pinning those structs in place.
See the [`zeroize`](https://docs.rs/zeroize) documentation for tips
and tricks, and for further discussion.

Requires a new version of `secp256k1-sys`, use v0.8.0
- Update the `secp256k1-sys` manifest (including links field)
- Update symbols to use 0_8_0
- Add a changelog entry
- depend on the new version in `secp256k1`
Which in turn requires a new version of `secp256k1`, use v0.26.0
We are ready to release a new minor version of `secp256k1-sys`, in order
to do so we must make change the symbol names to reflect the new version
as well as the usual changelog and version bump.

- Bump `secp256k1-sys` crate version 0.6.1 -> 0.7.0, justified because
we have added new public methods to various types (e.g.,
`PublicKey::cmp_fast_unstable`)
Currently we expect non-null pointers when we take `*mut T` parameters,
however we do not check that the pointers are non-null because we never
set VERIFY in our C build. We can use the `NonNull` type to enforce
no-null-ness as long as we use `NonNull::new`. In a couple of instances
we manually check that a buffer is not empty and therefore that the
pointer to it is non-null so we can safely use `NonNull::new_unchecked`.
Replace mutable pointer parameters `*mut T` (e.g. `*mut c_void`) and
return types with `NonNull<T>`.

Functions that are `unsafe` should include a `# Safety` section. Because
we have wrapper functions to handle symbol renaming we essentially have
duplicate functions i.e., they require the same docs, instead of
duplicating the docs put the symbol renamed function below the
non-renamed function and add a docs linking to the non-renamed function.
Also add attribute to stop the linter warning about the missing safety
docs section.
Remove the clippy attribute for `missing_safety_doc`.
There is no obvious reason why not to derive `Copy` and `Clone` for
types that use the `impl_newtype_macro`. Derives are less surprising so
deriving makes the code marginally easier to read.
Currently we rely on the inner bytes with types that are passed across
the FFI boundry when implementing comparison functions (e.g. `Ord`,
`PartialEq`), this is incorrect because the bytes are opaque, meaning
the byte layout is not guaranteed across versions of `libsecp26k1`.
Implement stable comparison functionality by doing:
- Implement `core::cmp` traits by first coercing the data into a stable
form e.g., by serializing it.
- Add fast comparison methods to `secp256k1-sys` types that wrap types
from libsecp, add similar methods to types in `secp256k1` that wrap
`secp256k1-sys` types (just call through to inner type).
- In `secp256k1-sys` feature gate the new `core::cmp` impls on
`not(fuzzing)`, when fuzzing just derive the impls instead.
Any additional methods added to `secp256k1-sys` types are private,
justified by the fact the -sys is meant to be just a thin wrapper around
libsecp256k1, we don't want to commit to supporting additional API
functions.
Please note, the solution presented in this patch is already present for
`secp256k1::PublicKey`, this PR removes that code in favour of deriving
traits that then call down to the same logic in `secp256k1-sys`.
An array in Rust has no concept of length, it is a fixed size data type.
Equally an array cannot be "empty", again since it is a fixed size data
type. These are methods/concepts seen in slices and vectors.
Remove the `len` and `is_empty` methods.

Dunno why we haven't seen this elsewhere, but when trying to build locally for an ARM embedded target `secp256k1-sys` failed to compile as it was missing `string.h`, just like WASM.
This patch adds a trivial fallback - if we fail to compile initially we unconditionally retry with the wasm-sysroot, giving us a valid `string.h`.

Pull request description:
The first 8 patches clear clippy warnings. Next we add a CI job to run clippy. Finally we add a `githooks` directory that includes running clippy, also adds a section to the README on how to use the githooks. This is identical to the text in the [open PR](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin/pull/1044) on `rust-bitcoin` that adds githooks _without_ yet adding clippy.
**Note**: The new clippy CI job runs and is green :)

We have a whole bunch of unsafe code that calls down to the FFI layer.
It would be nice to have clippy running on CI, these safety docs
warnings are prohibiting that. Until we can add the docs add a compiler
attribute to allow the lint.
Feature guard the custom implementations of `Ord` and `PartialOrd` on
`cfg(not(fuzzing))`. When fuzzing, auto-derive implementations.

As proposed in https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin/issues/510#issuecomment-881686342 this PR raises the MSRV to 1.41.1 it also changes the code to be Edition 2018.
The PR contains a few things:
* Moving to edition 2018 and fixing the imports
* Sorting and combining imports to make them more concise
* Replacing our c_void with `core::ffi::c_void`
* Bumping the `rand` version to latest and modifying our `RngCore` implementations accordingly
* Doing some small refactoring and using the new `TryInto` trait where it makes the code nicer
If people prefer I can split this PR into multiple and/or drop some commits
