We're not going to mutate transactions in a block, so computing the txids
every time we need them is a waste, let's compute them upfront and use them
afterwards.
most likely unused since the switch to libwally for internal blockchain
things.
these method names were clashing with ones that are to be introduced
with some libwally cleanups, so getting rid of them pre-emptively keeps
us libwally compatible
We did this originally because these types are referred to in the bolts, and we
had no way of injecting the correct include lines into those. Now we do, so
there's less excuse for this.

Since we now compute the hash while deserializing the block header we can now
just use it, no reason to serialize the header just to hash it again. This
also allows us to throw away all the added dynafed fields in the next commit
instead of having to carry them around.
This avoids having to re-serialize the block header just to compute the
hash. It also frees us from having to carry around all the details in the
header and we can hand around a minimal version.

The header is not a contiguous section of memory in elements, and it is of
variable length, so the simple trick of hashing in-memory data won't work
anymore. Some of the datafields would have been wrong on big-endian machines
anyway, so this is better anyway.

Since the difference between non-elements and elements block headers is just
the middle 2 fields, I split the old parsing code so I could add the middle
part.

It's just a sha256_double, but importantly when we convert it to a
string (in type_to_string, which is used in logging) we use
bitcoin_blkid_to_hex() so it's reversed as people expect.

We were using the bitcoin genesis blockhash for all networks, which is
not correct, and would result in the open being aborted when talking
to other implementations.

Like txids, we need to reverse them. We didn't, but then we only used them
to pass to/from bitcoind. We're about to get them from the block header,
so we need to fix that.
