We currently use a custom BitcoinBlockData type when parsing block responses from bitcoind, and we move that over to our ordinals/runes indexers for processing. This type was born out of the old Chainhook/Ordhook code because we needed a way to map those block types onto JSON payloads for event delivery.
Now that we've removed all of that functionality, we should move out of these custom types and use parsing logic directly from the bitcoin crate. This would reduce our code surface by a lot, make our parsers more maintainable and also allow us to optimize some pipelines like Runes which depend on these types to work (forcing us to do some conversions right now).
