Previously, this function would return an error in case the provided digest is not of 32 bytes long. As per our [spec](https://github.com/libp2p/specs/blob/master/peer-ids/peer-ids.md#secp256k1), we hash _all_ messages with SHA256 before signing, thus this error can never happen in practice.
This brings us one step closer to an infallible `Keypair::sign` which is now only fallible due to RSA signing. If we manage to fix that as well, constructors like `noise::Config::new` will become infallible.

`Keypair` and `Publickey` are rendered opaque:
- `Keypair` is replaced by a private `KeyPairInner` enum that is encapsulated inside the `Keypair` `pub struct`
- `Publickey` is replaced by a private `PublickeyInner` enum that is encapsulated inside the `Publickey` `pub struct`
Resolves#3860.

Some of the feature-flags weren't set correctly and thus produced warnings for unused code. We can fix this by using absolute paths instead of imports and allow `dead_code` for the error constructor. It might be possible to write a correct `cfg` for this as well but I think it will be very verbose, hence I didn't bother.

This patch removes the `version 0.2.0` for deprecations as libp2p-identity is only at `0.1.1` and this can be confusing to the reader.
It also adds `impl From<ed25519::PublicKey> for PublicKey` (et al.) so that `PublicKey::from(ed25519::PublicKey)` works.

This PR renames some method names that don't follow Rust naming conventions or behave differently from what the name suggests:
- Enforce "try" prefix on all methods that return `Result`.
- Enforce "encode" method name for methods that return encoded bytes.
- Enforce "to_bytes" method name for methods that return raw bytes.
- Enforce "decode" method name for methods that convert encoded key.
- Enforce "from_bytes" method name for methods that convert raw bytes.

All we need from the multihash is for it to be a data structure that we pass around. We only ever use the identity "hasher" and the sha256 hasher. Those are easily implemented without depending the (fairly heavy) machinery in `multihash`.
Unfortunately, this patch by itself does not yet lighten our dependency tree because `multiaddr` activates those features unconditionally. I opened a companion PR for this: https://github.com/multiformats/rust-multiaddr/pull/77.
https://github.com/multiformats/rust-multiaddr/pull/77 is another breaking change and we are trying to delay those at the moment. However, it will (hopefully) land eventually which should then be much easier to implement.
Fixes#3276.
