1ddec1538e 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These were always a bad idea and they've been superceded both in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.

915b961d41 CH04::compressed pubkeys: merge with "pubkey formats" 
This reduces repitive text, provides a better introducion to compressed
pubkeys, and updates adoption claims.

e4c8d67956 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.

97ba0810c1 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.

64e9c3d7a7 CH04::privkeys: drop note about human-generated randomness 
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.

2f0d7d8c3a Revert CC-BY-SA material added since the second edition 
The commit ab5ae32bae is the last commit
for the second edition, so all changes since then are dropped except for
several commits for the third edition authored by Andreas Antonopoulos.

No attempt is made to remove CC-BY-SA or other licensed content present
in the already-published first or second editions.

This revert may itself be reverted for versions of the book published
under CC-BY-SA.

ch04: the line through (x,y) and (x,-y) is not "tangent" 
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".

chp04: xref <<vanity_minor_code>> seems better for note on std:random_device 
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.
