CH04::encrypted private keys: drop
...
These were always a bad idea and they've been superceded both in
theory and in practice by HD wallets.

CH04: Drop section about hex to base58check
...
This is extraneous information. Any programmer who understands how to
create a base58check address can convert to it, or from it, using any
byte encoding supported by their programming language or one of its
libraries.

CH04: added sectios for spk/ss, P2PK, and P2PKH
...
- A section for scriptPubKey and scriptSig allow us to explain how the
hashes for P2PKH work.
- A section for P2PK allows us to connect P2PKH payments to the original
Bitcoin paper and help us understand the underlying use of pubkeys and
signatures
- A section on P2PKH explains why we use a hash commitment (to save
space) and allows us to separate base58check (and addresses in
general) from scripts. It also helps set up a later section for P2SH.

This was probaby the case on some JS-based private key websites, or when
using something like GPG, but it's unlikely to be the case on any modern
production software.

On the elliptic curve, a line that goes through two different points
with the same `x` coordinates, but different `y` coordinates (they must
be `y` and `-y`) is not "tangent".

Because 'std::random_device' appears in xref vanity_miner_code as opposed to xref vanity_miner_run, it feels more appropriate to use the former in this note.

ch04: Fix mathematical terms
...
1. EC multiplication is a "one-way" function, not a "trapdoor" one.
There is no information that makes reverse function easy.
See:
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapdoor_function
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-way_function
2. The "discrete logarithm" is more usual term for the reverse operation
for EC multiplication.
