How to get the address associated with any Transaction

Hi
I noticed that the *wire.TxIn or *wire.TxOut doesn't contain any information about the address associated with this input/output.

Can you please tell how to get this info OR whether it is not supported atm?

No support for old bitcoind versions?

Looks like some APIs (ImportAddressRescan in particular) are not backwards compatible with old versions of bitcoind. I can't find a good way to add compatibility without breaking changes. Any ideas?

Missing go.mod and error building on Go 1.18

Trying to build the example with Go 1.18.7 results in a build error: module github.com/btcsuite/btcd@latest found (v0.23.3), but does not contain package github.com/btcsuite/btcd/btcec

Similarly, the same error occurs when trying to use the library in another project.
