This consensus rule is supposed to apply to transactions whose
transparent inputs are the *outputs* of previous coinbase
transactions, not to transactions with coinbase inputs. Because that
logic is different enough from this logic, and requires different data
flow, it's cleaner to just remove this check for now.
Making this check's match statement exhaustive revealed a bug similar to
the previous commit. The logic in the spec is written in terms of
numbers, but our data is internally represented in terms of enums
(ADTs). This kind of cross-representation rule translation is a bug
surface, which we can avoid by converting to counts and summing up. (We
should use one style at a time).
This function caused spurious "WrongVersion" errors, because the match
pattern in the first arm was non-exhaustive, but the fallthrough match
arm was present and assumed it would only be reached if the version was
incorrect.
This commit cleans up the implemenation, splits out the error variants,
and renames the check to be more precise.
To avoid this kind of bug in the future, two guidelines are useful:
1. Avoid fallthrough cases that circumvent non-exhaustive match checks;
2. Avoid nested conditionals, preferring a "straight-line" sequence of
match arm => result pairs rather than nested matches or matches with
conditionals inside.
This squashes the previous sequence of commits to let us separate out
the structural skeleton (which unblocks other work and is not
consensus-critical) from the actual checks (which don't block other work
and are consensus-critical).

* Flatten consensus::verify::* to consensus::*
* Move consensus::*::tests into their own files
* Move CheckpointList into its own file
* Move Progress and Target into a types module
QueuedBlock and QueuedBlockList can stay in checkpoint.rs, because
they are tightly coupled to CheckpointVerifier.
