Merge #789: Release v0.28 RC1

1b2dbd7 0.28.0-rc.1 release (Dr Maxim Orlovsky)

Pull request description:

  We still have quite a few issues and PRs pending to be addressed/merged before full 0.28 release: see https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin/milestone/10

  Most important, we have to find a way to address #777; additionally it will be desirable to get #587, #786, #776.

  We also have quite of work to write CHANGELOG in #785

  Nevertheless I propose to start with a `beta-1` subrelease to unlock ability for `miniscript` release and downstream testing. The Taproot API looks final, and the pending PRs are addresses internal issues/bugs which is perfectly fine for beta releases.
