Due to differences in how getblock returns data based on the provided verbosity parameter, it's necessary
to have two separate return types based on verbosity. This necessitates a separate unmarshalling function
(represented throughout rpcclient/chain.go as Result.Receive()) to ensure that data is correctly unmarshalled
and returned to the user.
Go 1.10 made some changes such that json.Unmarshal can no longer
unmarshal into exported fields that are themselves embedded via an
uninitialized unexported pointer.
Since rpcclient previously relied on this behavior, this updates the
client to create the pointers before unmarshalling into the struct.
This commit contains the entire btcrpcclient repository along with
several changes needed to move all of the files into the rpcclient
directory in order to prepare it for merging. This does NOT update btcd
or any of the other packages to use the new location as that will be
done separately.
- All import paths in the old btcrpcclient files have been changed to
the new location
- All references to btcrpcclient as the package name have been changed to
rpcclient
