Pull request description:
Miniscript is a language for writing (a subset of) Bitcoin Scripts in a structured way.
Miniscript permits:
- To safely extend the Output Descriptor language to many more scripting features thanks to the typing system (composition).
- Statical analysis of spending conditions, maximum spending cost of each branch, security properties, third-party malleability.
- General satisfaction of any correctly typed ("valid" [0]) Miniscript. The satisfaction itself is also analyzable.
- To extend the possibilities of external signers, because of all of the above and since it carries enough metadata.
Miniscript guarantees:
- That for any statically-analyzed as "safe" [0] Script, a witness can be constructed in the bounds of the consensus and standardness rules (standardness complete).
- That unless the conditions of the Miniscript are met, no witness can be created for the Script (consensus sound).
- Third-party malleability protection for the satisfaction of a sane Miniscript, which is too complex to summarize here.
For more details around Miniscript (including the specifications), please refer to the [website](https://bitcoin.sipa.be/miniscript/).
Miniscript was designed by Pieter Wuille, Andrew Poelstra and Sanket Kanjalkar.
This PR is an updated and rebased version of #16800. See [the commit history of the Miniscript repository](https://github.com/sipa/miniscript/commits/master) for details about the changes made since September 2019 (TL;DR: bugfixes, introduction of timelock conflicts in the type system, `pk()` and `pkh()` aliases, `thresh_m` renamed to `multi`, all recursive algorithms were made non-recursive).
This PR is also the first in a series of 3:
- The first one (here) integrates the backbone of Miniscript.
- The second one (#24148) introduces support for Miniscript in Output Descriptors, allowing for watch-only support of Miniscript Descriptors in the wallet.
- The third one (#24149) implements signing for these Miniscript Descriptors, using Miniscript's satisfaction algorithm.
Note to reviewers:
- Miniscript is currently defined only for P2WSH. No Taproot yet.
- Miniscript is different from the policy language (a high-level logical representation of a spending policy). A policy->Miniscript compiler is not included here.
- The fuzz target included here is more interestingly extended in the 3rd PR to check a script's satisfaction against `VerifyScript`. I think it could be further improved by having custom mutators as we now have for multisig (see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/23105). A minified corpus of Miniscript Scripts is available at https://github.com/bitcoin-core/qa-assets/pull/85.
[0] We call "valid" any correctly-typed Miniscript. And "safe" any sane Miniscript, ie one whose satisfaction isn't malleable, which requires a key for any spending path, etc..
