It makes very little sense having pointers here, these structures MUST have
some kind of key and this key is not gonna be wandering somewhere on its
own. Fixes a part of #519.
The logic here is that we'll have all binary encoding/decoding done via our io
package, which simplifies error handling. This functionality doesn't belong to
util, so it's moved.
This also expands BufBinWriter with Reset() method to fit the needs of core
package.
And drop associated _pkg.dev remnants (refs. #307).
Original `dev` branch had two separate packages for public and private keys,
but those are so intertwined (`TestHelper` subpackage is a proof) that it's
better unite them and all associated code (like WIF and NEP-2) in one
package. This patch also:
* creates internal `keytestcases` package to share things with wallet (maybe
it'll be changed in some future)
* ports some tests from `dev`
* ports Verify() method for public key from `dev`
* expands TestPrivateKey() with public key check
Simplifies a lot of code and removes some duplication. Unfortunately I had to
move test_util random functions in same commit to avoid cycle
dependencies. One of these random functions was also used in core/transaction
testing, to simplify things I've just dropped it there and used a static
string (which is nice to have for a test anyway).
There is still sha256 left in wallet (but it needs to pass Hash structure into
the signing function).
