Introduces `CryptoBytes` type defined as: ```rust pub struct CryptoBytes<const N: usize, Tag = ()>(pub [u8; N], PhantomData<fn() -> Tag>); ``` The type implements a bunch of methods and traits which are typically expected from a byte array newtype (NOTE: some of the methods and trait implementations IMO are a bit redundant, but I decided to maintain them all to not change too much stuff in this PR) It also introduces two (generic) typical consumers of `CryptoBytes`: `PublicBytes` and `SignatureBytes`. ```rust pub struct PublicTag; pub PublicBytes<const N: usize, CryptoTag> = CryptoBytes<N, (PublicTag, CryptoTag)>; pub struct SignatureTag; pub SignatureBytes<const N: usize, CryptoTag> = CryptoBytes<N, (SignatureTag, CryptoTag)>; ``` Both of them use a tag to differentiate the two types at a higher level. Downstream specializations will further specialize using a dedicated crypto tag. For example in ECDSA: ```rust pub struct EcdsaTag; pub type Public = PublicBytes<PUBLIC_KEY_SERIALIZED_SIZE, EcdsaTag>; pub type Signature = PublicBytes<PUBLIC_KEY_SERIALIZED_SIZE, EcdsaTag>; ``` Overall we have a cleaner and most importantly **consistent** code for all the types involved All these details are opaque to the end user which can use `Public` and `Signature` for the cryptos as before
