Extracts the two Script types out of Script.createOutputScript, and puts
them both under test.
Also renames Script.createMultiSigOutputScript to adhere to the same
convention.
These functions are not under test, and are unnecessary bloat due to a
confusing API.
Script.from*(asmStr) were two functions that attempted to parse ASM
codes and produce a script from this.
While useful, an parser can be introduced later under a single function
and under test... removed.
Although Script.extractPublicKeys implementation is likely to be correct,
it is not absolute in that what it returns is even strictly a set of
public keys.
It is a useful function, but can be done in a better way later,
probably checking against the Script templates instead.
Transaction.signWithKeys has some inherent undocumented behaviour, and it is not
clear when you would use it over just Transaction.addOutput and
Transaction.sign individually. Nor does it mimic anything in the
bitcoind API... removed.
To keep this change minimal, both TxIn/TxOut still use the parameter
object for initialization. TxOut accepts only the types it uses
internally, and not hex or byte arrays for scripts.
The clone is unnecessary as a TransactionOut is never mutated after its
creation.
This resulted in TransactionOut.scriptPubKey no longer being needed,
and was removed. To access the scriptPubKey as a byte buffer, a user
can simply use:
TransactionOut.script.toBuffer()
Unfortunately, this leaves TransactionOut in a sorry state of test.
Something that needs to be fixed.
Default-ize the sequence rather than use a number, and default to bytes
for input. I doubt anybody ever uses this anyways.
Remove weird convenience code, and remove wallet logic. Checking a TX's
affects on a wallet should be managed by the wallet object.
Remove parsing for the weirder SIGHASH types. People use this library
for creating SIGHASH_ALL transactions, and I don't see the need to
support these other types at the moment since this library's more used
for wallets than for hardcore bitcoin tx analysis/creation. They weren't
tested anyways.
Add note about potentially improving performance by providing
pubkey/address. Deriving from the private key is slower, that
information should probably be cached by the end user.
