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
- they have a tendency to include the wrong date because of cut'n'pasta
- all this info is in the git history

For raw pointers that can never be null Rust provides the
`core::ptr::NonNull` type. Our `Secp256k1` type has an inner field that
is a non-null pointer; use `NonNull` for it.
Fix: #534
Currently we are not running the formatter in CI, in preparation for
doing so run `cargo +nightly fmt` to clear all current formatting
issues.
No manual changes.
Currently we have a few problems with our feature gating, attempt to
audit all feature gating and fix it by doing:
1. Do not enable features on optional dependencies (`rand` and
`bitcoin-hashes`) in dev-dependencies, doing so hides broken feature
gating in unit tests.
2. Do not use unnecessary feature combinations when one feature enables
another e.g. `any(feature = "std", feature = "alloc")`.
3. Enable "std" from "rand-std" and "bitcoin-std" (and fix features
gating as for point 2).
4. Clean up code around `rand::thread_rng`, this is part of this patch
because `thread_rng` requires the "rand-std" feature.
5. Clean up CI test script to test each feature individually now that
"rand-std" and "bitcoin-hashes-std" enable "std".
Run the command `cargo +nightly fmt` to fix formatting issues.
The formatter got confused in one place, adding an incorrect
indentation, this was manually fixed.
68c73850d8 Minimise FFI in the public API (Tobin C. Harding)
Pull request description:
Normal users should never need to directly interact with the FFI layer.
Audit and reduce the use of `ffi` types in the public API of various types. Leave only the implementation of `CPtr`, and document this clearly as not required by normal users. Done for:
- PublicKey
- XOnlyPublicKey
- KeyPair
- ecdsa::Signature
- ecdsa::RecoverableSignature

In multiple places we use array constants for zero and one. Add two
constants and use them throughout the codebase. Note the endian-ness of
`ONE` in the docs.
As we did in rust-bitcoin [0] create a configuration conditional `bench`
that we can use to guard bench mark code. This has the benefit of
making our features additive i.e., we can now test with `--all-features`
with a stable toolchain (currently this fails because of our use of the
`test` crate).

Recently we fixed a bunch of feature gates to use `rand-std` instead
of `rand` but in doing so did not notice that the same feature gates
were using `alloc` which is meaningless if `std` is enabled.
Feature gate on `std` if we are using `rand-std`.

Pull request description:
In a continued effort to find my feet around here, and inspired by issue #128 I've done a codebase wide audit of the docs (primarily just rustdocs but I glanced at `//` docs as well). Each change is in a separate commit so can be removed if resistance is met. (_"resistance is futile"_).
I've based the stylistic decisions on [work done](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin/pull/704) in rust-bitcoin.
I believe the only controversial change is the last (commit: da161c9 Use rust-bitcoin module doc style), please review that one carefully.

4c43d5e20f Add custom Debug impl for RecoverableSignature (Tobin Harding)
Pull request description:
Currently when debug printing the `RecoverableSignature` we do so byte by byte, this means that the output differs depending on the endianess of the machine. If instead we serialize the signature in compact form then the output is the same irrespective of the endianess.
With this applied the following two commands now pass:
```
cargo test test_debug_output --features=recovery
```
```
cross test --target powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu test_debug_output --features=recovery
```
Fixes: #375

Our API often involves a `Secp256k1` parameter, when users enable the
`global-context` feature they must then pass `SECP256K1` into these
functions. This is kind of clunky since the global is by definition
available everywhere.
Make the API more ergonomic for `global-context` builds by adding
various API functions/methods that use the global context implicitly.
Recently we introduced uniform styling for module docs over in
`rust-bitcoin` repo. We can do the same here but its a bit controversial
because it removes the heading from module docs and every single public
module in rust-secp256k1 uses a heading. Instead we use a full
sentences. Also makes uniform the trailing `//!`.

Currently various features fail to build when enabled without default
features. This is because many tests need feature gating.
Feature gating the import statements quickly turns into spaghetti when
trying to cover all combinations of two features correctly, instead just
allow unused imports on `tests` modules where needed.
Add correct feature requirements to the examples so they also can be run
without default features.
Improve the CI script by doing:
- Add `std` to the feature matrix.
- Add `--no-default-features` to test runs in the CI script.
Recently we deprecated a bunch of methods/functions. We are still
calling them in test code. Found by Clippy.
Use the shiny new methods/functions instead of the deprecated ones.
With the introduction of Schnorr signatures, exporting a `Signature`
type without any further qualification is ambiguous. To minimize the
ambiguity, the `ecdsa` module is public which should encourage users
to refer to its types as `ecdsa::Signature` and `ecdsa::SerializedSignature`.
To reduce ambiguity in the APIs on `Secp256k1`, we deprecate several
fucntions and introduce new variants that explicitly mention the use of
the ECDSA signature algorithm.
Due to the move of `Signature` and `SerializedSignature` to a new module,
this patch is a breaking change. The impact is minimal though and fixing the
compile errors encourages a qualified naming of the type.
