* API Update

Made a few changes:
- Flattened the wallet list to be similar to full transaction list
- included versioning on url `/v1alpha/`
- Included `wallet.utxo` data
- Improved `safe_serialize` for better json output

Pending Updates:
- Create a separate file for API (as a blueprint)
- Explore using Flask-restful for improved authentication (downside is that it is another dependency - not sure if already a requirement for specter)

* adding a rest-api

* Merging with remote

* Fixed API.md

* Removing example-resources

* migrating to focal due to cryptography needs newer pip

Specter API

Specter provides a Rest-API which is, by default, in production deactivated. In order to activate, you need to export a variable like that:

export SPECTER_API_ACTIVE=True

The Authentication is also necessary if you don't activate any Authentication mechanism. In order to make reasonable assumptions about how stable a specific endpoint is, we're versioning them via the URL. Currently, all endpoints are preset with v1alpha which pretty much don't give you any guarantee.

Basic Usage

Curl:

curl -u admin:secret -X GET http://127.0.0.1:25441/api/v1alpha/specter | jq .

Python:

import requests
response = requests.get('http://127.0.0.1:25441/api/v1alpha/specter', auth=('admin', 'secret'))
json.loads(response.text)
