partially addresses #1949

Description

It upgrades the electrsd version from 0.28.0 to 0.36.1, migrating from old bitcoind to corepc-node and using the corepc-node_28_2 feature.

Updates the bitcoind client type for TestEnv, and its internal methods. Also, updates: bdk_bitcoind_rpc, bdk_esplora, bdk_electrum usage of bdk_testenv and TestEnv.

Notes to the reviewers

As we are upgrading to the latest electrsd, we can drop for now the pinning for home in the MSRV step.

Also for both list_unspent and get_raw_transaction_verbose corepc-client APIs didn't support some required arguments in some of the tests. That said, I implemented our own RPC calls as two new methods in TestEnv.

It looks like I'll need to open a PR on corepc-client to add get-block-template RPC, then I'll get back to this one :(

I'll do the same in rust-electrum-client for the tests, but I'll do it to 0.30.x instead to prevent this issue from blocking the PR there.

@oleonardolima I noticed that the getblocktemplate RPC is implemented in corepc-client.

Yes, it was added a few releases after I started this PR, but IIRC some other methods were missing too. I'll check that again.

Seems to be lacking good support for get_raw_mempool_verbose, at least for versions of Bitcoin Core later than 0.17.

Once #1988 lands, we won't be relying on get_raw_mempool_verbose; instead, we will use get_raw_mempool. It should unblock this one.

It appears that other methods are missing in the corepc-client at electrsd 0.34. They're released on corepc-node 0.8, which will be included in the next release of electrsd. Will check if there are alternative methods for those.

As of the latest v0.35 release, it appears that all the necessary methods are implemented in corepc-{node|client}. I went ahead and updated the bdk-testenv and bdk-electrum/esplora crates.

It requires a more significant refactor and changes for the bdk_bitcoind_rpc, as the Emitter relies on the bitcoincore-rpc ' RpcApi' trait. I can cover it all in a single PR, but would like to know what you guys think as well.

I also noticed that updating electrsd means potentially changing the Emitter to use corepc Client because of how it relates to testenv, etc. We have to make sure switching clients doesn't negatively impact behavior, performance and stuff

We may be able to unblock this by having a way to create a new RPC client using the node credentials of a TestEnv instance but independent of the actual test client that is used by electrsd. oleonardolima#3

Cool, I'll take a look at your PR this morning.

Alright, but if I got it right, the idea would to still rely on bitcoincore_rpc API for bdk_bitcoind_rpc tests (which I think makes sense), right ? And when we land bdk_bitcoind_client that wouldn't an issue anymore, right

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll cherry-pick this one and update the remaining tests.

Also, it looks like the latest one is v0.36.1, I'll give it a try on that one too.

The approach I had in mind is to bump electrsd to the latest version in bdk_testenv which might entail updating some methods in order to benefit from all new corepc types. In bdk_bitcoind_rpc we can start using the TestEnv client for tests, and this ClientExt trait or whatever we're calling it can be used to create a client just for the Emitter with no other code changes needed. When bdk_bitcoind_client is available we'll update the Emitter to use that and remove bitcoincore_rpc. Don't know if I've fully answered the question.

AFAICT the only blocker now is: rust-bitcoin/corepc#425

- update the `bdk_bitcoind_rpc` test_emitter.rs tests to use `ClientExt`.

- add new methods `list_unspent` and `get_raw_transaction_verbose` to
  `TestEnv`, it's need as they require specific arguments in the call,
  that are not available in corepc API.

It's not a block anymore, by using the latest electrsd, the corepc-types are already fixed as it was suggested in the issue.
