We implement low-level support for all PSBT roles:

  • create
  • update
  • sign
  • combine
  • join
  • finalize
  • extract

We don't implement any smart wallet strategy to automatically find inputs we can sign for and sign them, because it's quite involved and can be dangerous (attackers could trick us into signing utxos we don't want to spend).

We instead let upper layers (eclair) build the scripts and witnesses based on their knowledge of what utxos belong to them.

It feels more natural to have most roles (except Creator and Combiner) as
function inside the case class instead of static functions in the object.
While combine is for PSBTs that describe the same transaction, it's also
useful to be able to join completely independent PSBTs.

This is useful in particular when one of the participants has the role of
adding fees to a transaction.
This can be useful when bumping a mempool tx.
When reading a PSBT with a non-witness utxo, we must verify that it is
compatible with the txIn described in the PSBT global tx.
