In test code we use multiple pub/sec keys. It is more intuitive if the
'secret 1' is generated by the owner of secret key 1.
Refactor only, no logic changes.
In preparation for simplifying the `SharedSecret` internals pull the
`new_with_hash` function logic out into a standalone public function
that provides similar functionality without use of the `SharedSecret`
struct. Function now returns the 64 bytes of data representing a shared
point on the curve, callers are expected to the hash these bytes to get
a shared secret.
We are using `cfg_attr` to instruct the rustdocs build system to
highlight feature requirements for functions, there is no need to
explicitly mention feature requirements in the text.
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.

```
cargo test test_debug_output --features=recovery

3c9dd2fb32 Fix example dependency list (Tobin Harding)
Pull request description:
Example relies on `rand-std` not plain `rand` dependency.
I do not understand why the following command passes without this patch
applied
```
cargo test --no-default-features --features=std,rand,bitcoin_hashes
```
But if we put the same code in a standalone binary it fails as expected?
Since the running of this test is _unusual_ and it is primarily meant as
an entry point example to the library, remove the mention of "alloc"
feature and just depend upon "std".

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.
The global context is already in scope in tests since we use a glob
import. No clue why Clippy does not warn for this.
Remove unnecessary import statement in test function.
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 `//!`.
As is typical in the Rust ecosystem use the third person tense when
documenting functions. E.g.,
```
/// Creates a new Foo.
```
As opposed to
```
/// Create a new Foo.
```
Example relies on `rand-std` not plain `rand` dependency.

Now that we opportunistically randomize the context on creation if
`rand-std` is enabled it would be nice to encourage users who do not
wish to use `rand-std` to randomize the context. We already have an API
to do this but it requires a separate call to do so. Instead of adding a
bunch of additional constructors elect to add documentation to the
current constructors guiding users towards randomization.
We recently implemented opportunistic randomization of the context
object if the the `rand-std` feature is enabled. Both for the global
context and also for signing context constructors.
Add documentation about `rand-std` feature in relation to the context
object.
Instead of providing a mechanism for users to opt out of randomization
we can just feature gate the call site i.e., opportunistically randomize
the global context on creation if `rand-std` feature is enabled.
2732891359 Change rand to rand-std in lib.rs documentation (Vincent Liao)
Pull request description:
I copy-pasted the key-generation example written on the documentation, but it didn't work. It only worked when I used the feature `rand-std` instead of `rand`.
To reproduce, boot up a new Rust project, and add this to main.rs:
```
use secp256k1::rand::rngs::OsRng;
use secp256k1::{Secp256k1, Message};
use secp256k1::hashes::sha256;
let secp = Secp256k1::new();
let mut rng = OsRng::new().expect("OsRng");
let (secret_key, public_key) = secp.generate_keypair(&mut rng);
let message = Message::from_hashed_data::<sha256::Hash>("Hello World!".as_bytes());
let sig = secp.sign_ecdsa(&message, &secret_key);
assert!(secp.verify_ecdsa(&message, &sig, &public_key).is_ok());
```
Using this dependencies causes error: `secp256k1 = {version="0.21.2", features=["rand", "bitcoin_hashes"]}`. After replacing `rand` with `rand-std`, it works.

Seems there is a bug in cargo, the tests in `key.rs` run successfully
but AFAICT they should fail. Here is an example, running `cargo test
--features=rand` should make this test fail but it doesn't?
```
/// Secret 256-bit key used as `x` in an ECDSA signature.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// Basic usage:
///
/// ```
/// # #[cfg(all(feature = "rand", any(feature = "alloc", feature = "std")))] {
/// use secp256k1::{rand, Secp256k1, SecretKey};
///
/// let secp = Secp256k1::new();
/// let secret_key = SecretKey::new(&mut rand::thread_rng());
/// # }
/// ```
Anywho, use the correct feature gate: `rand-std`.
Various combinations of features trigger lint warnings for unused code,
all warnings are caused by incorrect feature gating.
Correct feature gating to remove Clippy warnings during testing.
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.
The `Debug` implementation for secrets is feature gated on `std` because
it uses a hasher from `std`. If `bitcoin_hashes` is enabled we can use
it for hashing. If neither `std` nor `bitcoin_hashes` is enabled fall
back to outputting:
<secret requires std or bitcoin_hashes feature to display>
Remove the docs conditional since we now implement `Debug` always.

Pull request description:
This PR is an initial attempt to more thoroughly test our public API.
Add examples to various types/methods/functions in the key module.
I'm not entirely sure when is enough, do we want an example on every single public method, function, and type or is this overkill. In this PR I tried to find a balance by doing ever method/function that took an argument that is a custom type from this lib. I think this should be extended to include return values too though ...
Thanks to @thomaseizinger for the idea!

We recently patched much of the docs in the `key` module, lets attempt
to attain perfection.
Improve docs by doing:
- Use full stops
- Use 100 character column width
- Use plural third person tense
- Use plural for section headings
- Fix any grammar mistakes
- Use code ticks and links as appropriate
Done in an effort to better test our public API.
Add tests in the `Examples` section as is idiomatic in the Rust
ecosystem.
Make other minor improvements to any rusdocs we touch:
- Use full stops
- Use 100 character column width
- Use plural third person tense
- Use plural for section headings
Improve method docs by doing:
- Remove 'batch' comment
- Remove mention of required features, docs already show this
- Use links to types as well as ticks
Recently we made a wee mess with the `Parity` opaque type. Let's fix it
up by doing:
- Use an enum with variants `Even` and `Odd`.
- Add explicit conversion methods to/from u8 and i32
- Implement `BitXor`
Note: This patch is an API breaking change that does _not_ follow the
deprecation guidelines. Rust does not allow deprecating `From` impl
blocks AFAICT.
