Luke Parker eb9bce6862 Remove OutInstruction's data field
It makes sense for networks which support arbitrary data to do as part of their
address. This reduces the ability to perform DoSs, achieves better performance,
and better uses the type system (as now networks we don't support data on don't
have a data field).

Updates the Ethereum address definition in serai-client accordingly

Transaction Chaining Scheduler

A scheduler of transactions for networks premised on the UTXO model which support transaction chaining. Transaction chaining refers to the ability to obtain an identifier for an output within a transaction not yet signed usable to build and sign a transaction spending it.

Design

The scheduler is designed to achieve fulfillment of all expected payments with an O(1) delay (regardless of prior scheduler state), O(log n) time, and O(log(n) + n) computational complexity.

Due to the ability to chain transactions, we can immediately plan/sign dependent transactions. For the time/computational complexity, we use a tree to fulfill payments. This quickly gives us the ability to make as many outputs as necessary (regardless of per-transaction output limits) and only has the latency of including a chain of O(log n) transactions on-chain. The only computational overhead is in creating the transactions which are branches in the tree.
