hdkeychain
==========
docs: Make various README.md files consistent. First, it removes the documentation section from all the README.md files and instead puts a web-based godoc badge and link at the top with the other badges. This is being done since the local godoc tool no longer ships with Go by default, so the instructions no longer work without first installing godoc. Due to this, pretty much everyone uses the web-based godoc these days anyways. Anyone who has manually installed godoc won't need instructions. Second, it makes sure the ISC license badge is at the top with the other badges and removes the textual reference in the overview section. Third, it's modifies the Installation section to Installation and Updating and adds a -u to the go get command since it works for both and thus is simpler. Finally, it replaces the badges with SVG versions from shields.io so they are consistent.

Package hdkeychain provides an API for bitcoin hierarchical deterministic
extended keys (BIP0032).
A comprehensive suite of tests is provided to ensure proper functionality. See
`test_coverage.txt` for the gocov coverage report. Alternatively, if you are
running a POSIX OS, you can run the `cov_report.sh` script for a real-time

- Obtaining the underlying EC pubkeys, EC privkeys, and associated bitcoin
addresses ties in seamlessly with existing btcec and btcutil types which
provide powerful tools for working with them to do things like sign
transations and generate payment scripts
- Uses the btcec package which is highly optimized for secp256k1
- Code examples including:
- Generating a cryptographically secure random seed and deriving a
master node from it
- Default HD wallet layout as described by BIP0032
- Audits use case as described by BIP0032
- Comprehensive test coverage including the BIP0032 test vectors
