Some functions have an argument named "seed_type" in which it was annoying to call the seed_type() fn.
(especially for functions inside the same module)
```
./tests/test_mnemonic.py:249:9: B017 `assertRaises(Exception)` and `pytest.raises(Exception)` should be considered evil. They can lead to your test passing even if the code being tested is never executed due to a typo. Assert for a more specific exception (builtin or custom), or use `assertRaisesRegex` (if using `assertRaises`), or add the `match` keyword argument (if using `pytest.raises`), or use the context manager form with a target.
with self.assertRaises(Exception):

- `bitstring` started depending on `bitarray` in version 4.1 [0]
- that would mean one additional dependency for us (from yet another maintainer), which is not even pure python
- we only use bitstring for bolt11-parsing
- hence this PR rewrites the bolt11-parsing and removes `bitstring` as dependency
- note: I benchmarked lndecode using [1], and the new code performs better,
taking around 80% time needed for old code (when using bitstring 3.1.9, pure python).
Though the variance is quite large in both cases.

The transaction dict can also contain PSBTs (in addition to complete raw hex txs).
This is the case if the user has saved a partial (e.g. unsigned) tx as local into the history.
