This removes the path-based dependencies on the `zcash_note_encryption`
crate in favor of using versioned dependencies locally. This better
reflects the future state in which `zcash_note_encryption` is factored
out of the workspace and maintained in a separate repository.
The `halo2_proofs/multicore` flag must be disabled when running wasm
builds; this ensures that we do not accidentally include it as a
transitive dependency when building with `--no-default-features`.
This change makes it possible for wallets using the
`zcash_client_backend::data_api::wallet` module to perform transaction
preparation, including input selection and fee calculation, as an
independent step prior to creating proofs and signatures. This can be
used to improve user experience by making it possible to report the
proposed effects of the transaction to the wallet user (including
privacy implications) prior to authorizing the transaction.
Previously, if a caller wanted to use a block source to perform
scanning from the first available block, they would have to guess
at the block height to start from. Changing this to an optional
argument makes this explicit.
This allows callers to validate smaller intervals of the given
`BlockSourceT` shortening processing times of the function call at the
expense of obtaining a partial result on a given section of interest of
the block source.
`params: &ParamsT` has been removed from the arguments since they were
only needed to fall back to `sapling_activation_height` when `None` as
passed as the `validate_from` argument. Passing `None` as validation
start point on a pre-populated `block_source` would result in an error
`ChainError::block_height_discontinuity(sapling_activation_height - 1, current_height)`
With this new API callers must specify a concrete `validate_from`
argument and assume that `validate_chain` will not take any default
fallbacks to chain `ParamsT`.
The addition of a `limit` to the chain validation function changes the
meaning of its successful output, being now a `BlockHeight, BlockHash)`
tuple indicating the block height and block hash up to which the chain
as been validated on its continuity of heights and hashes. Callers
providing a `limit` aregument are responsible of subsequent calls to
`validate_chain()` to complete validating the remaining blocks stored on
the `block_source`.

The MSRVs of the component crates are left as-is, partly because our
dependencies don't require us to bump them, and partly because those
crates have no pending changes and are relatively stable. We also plan
to split the component crates out into a separate repository, where it
will be easier to have a separate MSRV.
Closeszcash/librustzcash#759.
The remaining uses of `assert!(matches!(...))` are all in cases where
for some reason the `assert_matches` macro interferes with correct
type inference.
