sdk%misc: prepare dash-types{,-marker} and dash-num for initial release, unify critical dependencies, update linters to enforce crates.io policy, upgrade resolver to replace MSRV lint code

[kwvg]

Additional Information

• crates.io prohibits uploading packages with symbolic links (see CVE-2026-5223). To ensure we are compliant, lint_symlinks.py (introduced in base-sdk#33) will now prohibit the presence of any symlinks in pkgs/.

  • This means that in order to include the license terms in the crate source bundle, they have to be duplicated, as done in this pull request.

• The repository README now has three audiences, GitHub, Zensical and crates.io. This creates a smidge problem in that we cannot use relative links as they would render relative to crates.io and error. This is also why all explanatory docs are stored in docs/ instead of pkgs/${name}/docs/, to avoid the audience triplicate outright.

• The resolver we use (version 2 is standard for the edition of Rust targeted, 2021) but while there are no imminent plans to switch to the 2024 edition, version 3 of the resolver includes MSRV-awareness, which lets us shed most of lint_cargo.py (introduced in base-sdk#31).

• hex-conservative, rand_core, subtle and zeroize have been moved to [workspace.dependencies], joining the rust-bitcoin crates already defined due to their defined types and traits being a part of the public API.

  • To also converge with the major version of hex-conservative used by rust-bitcoin crates, it was bumped to the latest release and code changes were made accordingly.

• deny.toml gains a licence allowlist for permitting the use of permissively licensed and public-domain dependencies only. This is to avoid copyleft encumbrance that would supersede the terms of our license.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request updates workspace dependency management, releases dash-num and dash-types as 0.1.0-beta, migrates hex decoding APIs, adds package documentation, and changes repository lint checks.

Changes

Release and dependency alignment

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Workspace and package manifests Cargo.toml, docs/samples/*/Cargo.toml, pkgs/*/Cargo.toml	The workspace uses resolver 3 and shared dependency declarations. Package versions, features, and docs.rs metadata are updated for the beta release.
Hex decoding API migration docs/samples/*/*.rs, pkgs/dev/src/*, pkgs/num/src/hash.rs, pkgs/p2p_core/tests/addrv2.rs, pkgs/primitives/src/types/addrv1.rs, pkgs/types/src/*	Hex parsing replaces FromHex calls with decode_to_vec or decode_to_array. Existing error handling and surrounding parsing logic remain in place.
Package documentation and navigation pkgs/num/*, pkgs/types/*, pkgs/types/marker/*, docs/num/*, docs/types/*, docs/zensical.toml	READMEs, licenses, changelogs, publication wrappers, and Zensical navigation entries are added or updated.
Repository lint checks deny.toml, maint/README.md, maint/lint/*	cargo-deny gains dependency-version and license policies. The MSRV check is removed. Markdown link validation and prohibition of symlinks under pkgs/ are added.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to deb76

The release crates expose feature defaults that conflict with the repository contract, and the release documentation currently fails lint and incompletely describes available features. Resolve these release-preparation issues before merging.

released crates num and types: set default to an empty feature list and define
full to include std, replacing the current codec default where present. Preserve
all other manifest configuration.
- Line 58: Update the dash-dev dev-dependency declaration to include the
repository’s matching version alongside its existing path and full feature
configuration, preserving the current local path behavior.

In `@pkgs/num/README.md`:
- Around line 40-42: Update the feature table in the README to add the
manifest’s std feature, and remove codec’s default marker so the table matches
the required default = [] configuration while retaining codec’s feature
description.

In `@pkgs/types/README.md`:
- Line 59: Update the license URL text in the README to satisfy the no-bare-urls
rule by converting it to an inline Markdown link, or move the existing
suppression so it applies to the URL line. Preserve the license wording and
destination.
