/** Data structure that represents a partial merkle tree.
*
* It respresents a subset of the txid's of a known block, in a way that
* allows recovery of the list of txid's and the merkle root, in an
* authenticated way.
*
* The encoding works as follows: we traverse the tree in depth-first order,
* storing a bit for each traversed node, signifying whether the node is the
* parent of at least one matched leaf txid (or a matched txid itself). In
* case we are at the leaf level, or this bit is 0, its merkle node hash is
* stored, and its children are not explorer further. Otherwise, no hash is
* stored, but we recurse into both (or the only) child branch. During
* decoding, the same depth-first traversal is performed, consuming bits and
* hashes as they written during encoding.
*
* The serialization is fixed and provides a hard guarantee about the
* encoded size:
*
* SIZE <= 10 + ceil(32.25*N)
*
* Where N represents the number of leaf nodes of the partial tree. N itself
* is bounded by:
*
* N <= total_transactions
* N <= 1 + matched_transactions*tree_height
*
* The serialization format:
* - uint32 total_transactions (4 bytes)
* - varint number of hashes (1-3 bytes)
* - uint256[] hashes in depth-first order (<= 32*N bytes)
* - varint number of bytes of flag bits (1-3 bytes)
* - byte[] flag bits, packed per 8 in a byte, least significant bit first (<= 2*N-1 bits)
* The size constraints follow from this.
