This commit changes the `LocalChain` implementation to have blocks
stored as a linked-list. This allows the data-src thread to hold a
shared ref to a single checkpoint and have access to the whole history
of checkpoints without cloning or keeping a lock on `LocalChain`.
The APIs of `bdk::Wallet`, `esplora` and `electrum` are also updated to
reflect these changes. Note that the `esplora` crate is rewritten to
anchor txs in the confirmation block (using the esplora API's tx status
block_hash). This guarantees 100% consistency between anchor blocks and
their transactions (instead of anchoring txs to the latest tip).
`ExploraExt` now has separate methods for updating the `TxGraph` and
`LocalChain`.
A new method `TxGraph::missing_blocks` is introduced for finding
"floating anchors" of a `TxGraph` update (given a chain).
Additional changes:
* `test_local_chain.rs` is refactored to make test cases easier to
write. Additional tests are also added.
* Examples are updated.
* Fix `tempfile` dev dependency of `bdk_file_store` to work with MSRV

Other changes:
* The `async-https` feature of `bdk_esplora` is no longer default.
* Rename `ObservedAs` to `ChainPosition`.
* Set temporary MSRV to 1.60.0 to compile all workspace members will all
features.
There are a number of improvements that can be done, but it is in a
decent state to be usable.
Possible improvements:
* Remove requirement to retry obtaining ALL data after reorg is
detected. Transactions can be anchored to a lower block (not block
tip), and an `assume_final_depth` value can be used.
* The logic to finalize an update with confirmation time can be improved
during reorgs to not require returning an error.
As mentioned by @LLFourn:
1. We have a "sparse chain" from which there is a subset of txids M that are missing from graph.
2. There is also another subset C that are in the graph but their positions have changed.
3. We used the Cow to avoid copying/duplicating in memory transactions in subset C and M
Instead in inflate_update we could remove transactions in subset M and just clone data in subset C (which is usually tiny).
