By removing Address.Error, we remove a code smell.
This part of the code base was also not under any form of test.
Test data and tests have therefore been added verifying its behaviour in
both Wallet and Address tests.
This also adds tests for all other ECDSA serialize/parsing functions.
The k, r, s and D values were sourced from test vectors on
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=285142.40 .
The compact signatures (aka, i values) were generated from bitcoinjslib, but they
are straight forward anyway.
An ECKey is a composition of a private key (D), a public key (Q) and its
compression flag.
These functions gave the impression of serialization of this
composition, when really they only serialized `D`.
They have therefore been removed in favour of always using a sane
serialization format (WIF) that matches the needed behaviour.
If a user needs the previous functionality, simply use `privKey.D.*`
instead of `privKey.*`, as BigInteger supports `*Buffer/*Hex` functions
as expected.
The use of fixtures allows for more behavioural driven tests and simpler
addition of more test cases in future.
However, as ECPubKey is just a wrapper around other strenuously tested
modules, the test data is currently limited to testing a subset of the
total wrapper.
This should probably be done better by using mocked out modules instead.
After a long IRC discussion, it was decided that the use of direct
filepaths instead of the module is a more pure form of testing ,
although it may provide less overall coverage than the mixed integration
style imports used previously.
This will need to be remedied by further integration testing in
/test/integration.
It is favoured to compose the scriptSig manually using
Script.createP2SHScriptSig and Script.createMultisigScriptSig.
Added a test to verify that createMultisigScriptSig throws when not
enough signatures a provided and the redeemScript is given.
