The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a large internal code reorganization in the rust-bitcoin project. It moves Bitcoin address types, parsing logic, and error types from the main `bitcoin` crate into a new `addresses` sub-crate, then re-exports them so existing users of the `bitcoin` crate see the same public API. There is no indication this fixes a security bug or introduces a vulnerability; it is a structural refactoring.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal dependency/API refactoring commit. Reviewers may want to verify that re-exports preserve exact public API compatibility and that no feature-gated code was accidentally altered.
