Extend Bitcoin Script Parser to translate Bitcoin binary scripts into human-readable scripts

[jornfranke]

This component takes as an input a Bitcoin binary script and translates it into a human-readable script. More information https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Script

@liorregev and I would like to work on this, but I believe this would be better in separate repository. It could then be used by both this project and others in an decoupled manner.

wdyt?

Are you in the right issue? The bitcoin script parser could be indeed part of the library... I was talking with liorregev about the web scraper ...

Yeah, we're working on several things in parallel.

I'm sure the parser could be part of the library but not sure it should be since its usability extends beyond the scope of this library and we could just reference to it.

Would you be against us creating such a repo and using it as a library in this one?

Well the parser could be in its own repo and this own repo could also contain the examples on how to use the examples. I do not see a strong need to include it in the inputformat. Some people prefer to work with the raw data and some with a parser that works independently of the library. I think bitcoinj and ethereumj May have already parsers that work so this other repo could just contain examples on how to use them.
