Merge bitcoindevkit/bdk#1292: fix(store): Remove lifetime

e6433fb2c1 feat(persist): Add stage_and_commit to Persist (LLFourn)
0bee46e75b fix(store): Remove lifetime (LLFourn)

Pull request description:

  Remove gratuitous use of lifetimes in the main persistence struct `Store`. Having lifetimes on this means that you have to keep the magic bytes alive longer than the database which is particularly offensive if you have to send the database to another thread. On top of that the bytes aren't even read.
