Hi Giacomo,

I wrote the rust implementation of bitcoin signature messages and to
double-check I created some test vectors you can see at
https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin/blob/b7f984972ad6cb4942827c2b7c401f590588cdcf/src/util/sighash.rs#L689-L799.
These vectors have been created printing intermediate results from
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/6401de0133e32a641ed9e78a85b3aa337c75d190/test/functional/feature_taproot.py
