Merge #396: Obfuscate shared secret when printing

cf6badf Obfuscate SharedSecret when printing (Tobin Harding)
e4be664 Improve rustdocs for displaying secrets (Tobin Harding)
5c7c76e Rename serialize_secret -> secret_bytes (Tobin Harding)
4ded2c0 Use byte instead of i (Tobin Harding)
91106f5 Remove magic number (Tobin Harding)
6dca996 Mention bitcoin_hashes in obfuscated secret msg (Tobin Harding)

Pull request description:

  Currently printing the `SharedSecret` using `Display` or `Debug` prints the real secret, this is sub-optimal. We have a solution for other secrets in the project where printing is obfuscated and we provide a `display_secret` method for explicitly printing.

  Mirror the logic for other secrets and obfuscate the `SharedSecret` when printing.

  - Patches 1 - 5: Clean up.
  - Patch 6: The meat and potatoes.

  This is the final change needed to:
  Resolve: #226
