In leaf nodes, some information is repeated. We chose to do this so that leaf nodes could
be treated identically to internal and root nodes for all algorithms and (de)serializers.
Leaf nodes are easily identifiable, as they will show proof of work in the
``hashSubtreeCommitment`` field, and their block range (calculated as
``nLatestHeight - (nEarliestHeight - 1)``) will be precisely 1. For the same reason, we
change the semantics of ``hashSubtreeCommitment`` in leaf nodes to commit
``hashSubtreeCommitment`` field (which commits to the block hash for leaf nodes), and
their block range (calculated as ``nLatestHeight - (nEarliestHeight - 1)``) will be
precisely 1.
Personalized BLAKE2b-256 was selected to match existing Zcash conventions. Adding the
consensus branch ID to the hash personalization string ensures that valid nodes from one
