Sean Gilligan 0080f79a05 base: remove all (deprecated) usage of Networks.get()
Remove `DefaultAddressParserProvder.fromNetworks()` and everything that
depends on it. All methods being removed were previously deprecated.

Removing `DefaultAddressParserProvder.fromNetworks()` propagates to the
3 AddressParser getLegacy() methods and several other deprecated methods
in Address, LegacyAddress, and Segwit Address.

This change means that nothing in `o.b.base` will use the global list of
supported networks stored in `Networks`. This is a mechanism we previously
added to support other Bitcoin-compatible networks and their addressing
schemes (e.g. LiteCoin.) "Alt networks" are still supported, but
applications using them will need to create their own implementations
of AddressParser to do it. We hope to eventually entirely remove the global
state returned by Networks.get(), but this PR is just about removing
its usage from `o.b.base`.

Note: this also removes all uses of javax.annotation.Nullable from
o.b.base. There are still instances of @NonNull which we should
probably leave in until we move to JSpecify.

### Welcome to bitcoinj

The bitcoinj library is a Java implementation of the Bitcoin protocol, which allows it to maintain a wallet and send/receive transactions without needing a local copy of Bitcoin Core. It comes with full documentation and some example apps showing how to use it.

### Technologies

* Java 8+ (needs Java 8 API or Android 8.0 API, compiles to Java 8 bytecode) for the `core` module
* Java 17+ for `tools`, `wallettool`, `examples` and the JavaFX-based `wallettemplate`
* https://gradle.org/[Gradle]
** Gradle 7.3+ for building the whole project or
** Debian Gradle 4.4 for just the `core`, `tools`, `wallettool` and `examples` modules (see "reference build" below)
* https://github.com/google/protobuf[Google Protocol Buffers] - for use with serialization and hardware communications

### Getting started

To get started, it is best to have the latest JDK and Gradle installed. The HEAD of the `master` branch contains the latest development code and various production releases are provided on feature branches.

#### Building from the command line

Official builds are currently using JDK 17. Our GitHub Actions build and test with JDK 17 and 21.

```
gradle clean build
```
The outputs are under the `build` directory.

To perform a full build _without_ unit/integration _tests_ use:
```
gradle clean assemble
```

#### Building from an IDE

Alternatively, just import the project using your IDE. http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/[IntelliJ] has Gradle integration built-in and has a free Community Edition. Simply use `File | New | Project from Existing Sources` and locate the `build.gradle` in the root of the cloned project source tree.

### Building and Using the Wallet Tool

The *bitcoinj* `wallettool` subproject includes a command-line Wallet Tool (`wallet-tool`) that can be used to create and manage *bitcoinj*-based wallets (both the HD keychain and SPV blockchain state.) Using `wallet-tool` on Bitcoin's test net is a great way to learn about Bitcoin and *bitcoinj*.

To build an executable shell script that runs the command-line Wallet Tool, use:
```
gradle bitcoinj-wallettool:installDist
```

You can now run the `wallet-tool` without parameters to get help on its operation:
```
./wallettool/build/install/wallet-tool/bin/wallet-tool
```

To create a test net wallet file in `~/bitcoinj/bitcoinj-test.wallet`, you would use:
```
mkdir ~/bitcoinj
```
```
./wallettool/build/install/wallet-tool/bin/wallet-tool --net=TESTNET --wallet=$HOME/bitcoinj/bitcoinj-test.wallet create
```

To sync the newly created wallet in `~/bitcoinj/bitcoinj-test.wallet` with the test net, you would use:
```
./wallettool/build/install/wallet-tool/bin/wallet-tool --net=TESTNET --wallet=$HOME/bitcoinj/bitcoinj-test.wallet sync
```

To dump the state of the wallet in `~/bitcoinj/bitcoinj-test.wallet` with the test net, you would use:
```
./wallettool/build/install/wallet-tool/bin/wallet-tool --net=TESTNET --wallet=$HOME/bitcoinj/bitcoinj-test.wallet dump
```

NOTE: These instructions are for macOS/Linux, for Windows use the `wallettool/build/install/wallet-tool/bin/wallet-tool.bat` batch file with the equivalent Windows command-line commands and options.

### Building the reference build

Our reference build (which is also used for our releases) is running within a container to provide good reproducibility.
Buildah 1.26+, Podman 4.1+ and Docker (with BuildKit) are supported. We tested various combinations of host OSes
(Debian, Ubuntu, macOS, Windows+WSL) and architectures (amd64, arm64). For usage instructions see `build.Containerfile`.

This uses Debian Gradle with the `settings-debian.gradle` settings. If you happen to use Debian and have Gradle
installed from the Debian repository, you can invoke these settings directly:

```
gradle --settings-file settings-debian.gradle clean build
```

### Example applications

These are found in the `examples` module.

### Where next?

Now you are ready to https://bitcoinj.github.io/getting-started[follow the tutorial].

### Testing a SNAPSHOT build

Building apps with official releases of *bitcoinj* is covered in the https://bitcoinj.github.io/getting-started[tutorial].

If you want to develop or test your app with a https://jitpack.io[Jitpack]-powered build of the latest `master` or `release-0.17` branch of *bitcoinj* follow the dynamically-generated instructions for that branch by following the correct link.

* https://jitpack.io/#bitcoinj/bitcoinj/master-SNAPSHOT[master] branch
* https://jitpack.io/#bitcoinj/bitcoinj/release-0.17-SNAPSHOT[release-0.17] branch
