`rust-bitcoin v0.30.0` made some changes in this area that no longer
allow us to work with the previously exposed `U256` type. While `Work`
and `Target` (they're inverses of each other) essentially represent the
same concept, it makes more sense from their API's perspective to only
expose difficulty transitions and adjustments on `Target`s.
