This ran into problems with Clone/Copy bounds -- it seems like the
derived impls require that the phantom type T also be Clone / Copy /
Debug for the type to be. This commit does a hacky fix that makes it
work for now, but it should be cleaned up later.
The motivation is as follows. The sealed trait pattern allows creating
a type-level equivalent of an enum: the trait corresponds to the enum
type and its implementors correspond to the enum variants; the `Sealed`
restriction ensures that there is a fixed set of enum variants.
In this picture, adding methods to the public trait corresponds to a
public method on an enum, while adding methods to the private trait
corresponds to a private method on an enum. This means that we can add
a method to get the basepoint (whose possible choices are enumerated by
SigType) and avoid having to do specialized impls.
This means that using a BindingSig as a SpendAuthSig or vice versa becomes a
compile error. Internally, we can share implementations, but having type
parameters and specialized impls means that the correct parameters can be
substituted in to whatever inner functions exist.
