Release 0.24.0

Summary

This release contains important dependency updates for rust-bitcoin to 0.29 and rust-miniscript to 8.0, plus related crates that also depend on the latest version of rust-bitcoin. The release also includes a breaking change to the BDK signer which now produces low-R signatures by default, saving one byte. A bug was found in the get_checksum and get_checksum_bytes functions, which are now deprecated in favor of fixed versions called calc_checksum and calc_checksum_bytes. And finally a new hardware-signer features was added that re-exports the hwi crate, along with a new hardware_signers.rs example file.
