addresses: Add pub externs
If a dependency crate has types appearing in the public api of a crate,
that crate should be pub extern'd.
Add pub externs for all crates with types in the public api.
What changed, and why it matters
This commit is a routine Rust packaging change. It makes several internal dependency crates (base58, bech32, crypto, network, primitives, serde) publicly visible to users of the 'addresses' crate so that types from those crates can be used cleanly in the public API. There is no bug fix, behavior change, or security patch here.
No security action needed. Review as a normal API/ergonomics change.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff adds pub extern crate declarations in addresses/src/lib.rs. In Rust, when a crate re-exports types from another crate in its own public API, it is idiomatic (and sometimes required for downstream users) to expose those dependencies as pub extern crate. This change only affects crate visibility and module re-exports; it does not alter parsing, validation, cryptography, or network logic.
