This reduces the overall amount of LoC that imports take up in our
codebase by almost 100.
It also makes merge-conflicts less likely because there is less
grouping together of imports that may lead to layout changes which
in turn can cause merge conflicts.
To achieve this we also:
- upgrade rust-bitcoin to 0.26
- upgrade bitcoin-harness to latest version (which also depends bitcoin 0.26)
- upgrade to latest edcsa-fun
- replace cross_curve_dleq proof with sigma_fun (to avoid an upgrade dance over there)
The bitcoind wallet required the user to run a bitcoind node. It was replaced with a bdk wallet which allows the user to connect to an electrum instance hosted remotely. An electrum and bitcoind testcontainer were created to the test the bdk wallet. The electrum container reads the blockdata from the bitcoind testcontainer through a shared volume. bitcoind-harness was removed as bitcoind initialisation code was moved into test_utils. The bdk wallet differs from the bitcoind wallet in that it needs to be manually synced with an electrum node. We synchronise the wallet once upon initialisation to prevent a potentially long running blocking task from interrupting protocol execution. The electrum HTTP API was used to get the latest block height and the transaction block height as this functionality was not present in the bdk wallet API or it required the bdk wallet to be re-synced to get an up to date value.
