Andrew Poelstra f8bbc89df6 [API BREAK] expose ability to create contexts without verify or signing caps 
There are a lot of cases in rust-bitcoin where we need a `Secp256k1`
which doesn't need any signing or verification capabilities, only
checking the validity of various objects. We can get away with a bare
context (i.e. no precomputation) which can be cheaply created on demand,
avoiding the need to pass around references to Secp256k1 objects everywhere.

API break because the following functions can now fail (given an insufficiently
capable context) and therefore now return a Result:

    Secp256k1::generate_keypair
    Secp256k1::sign
    Secp256k1::sign_compact

rust-secp256k1

rust-secp256k1 is a wrapper around libsecp256k1, a C library by Peter Wuille for producing ECDSA signatures using the SECG curve secp256k1. This library

  • exposes type-safe Rust bindings for all libsecp256k1 functions
  • implements key generation
  • implements deterministic nonce generation via RFC6979
  • implements many unit tests, adding to those already present in libsecp256k1
  • makes no allocations (except in unit tests) for efficiency and use in freestanding implementations
