8276e70de Adding assert to avoid a memory access violation inside of PartialMerkleTree::CalcHash() (Chris Stewart)
Pull request description:
Fixing a possible memory access violation in CPartialMerkleTree::CalcHash().
This can happen if we some how a merkle tree with zero txids. I don't think this can happen in practice as we only send merkle block messages on the p2p network as of now -- we cannot receive them.
This was found with #8469, specifically using this [generator](https://github.com/Christewart/bitcoin/blob/rapidcheck/src/test/gen/merkleblock_gen.h#L52-L77) which will cause a memory access violation on [this test case](https://github.com/Christewart/bitcoin/blob/rapidcheck/src/test/merkleblock_properties.cpp#L48).

Some people keep thinking that MAX_BLOCK_BASE_SIZE is a separate
size limit from the weight limit when it fact it is superfluous,
and used in early tests before the witness data has been
validated or just to compute worst case sizes. The size checks
that use it would not behave any differently consensus wise
if they were eliminated completely.
Its correct value is not independently settable but is a function
of the weight limit and weight formula.
This patch just eliminates it and uses the scale factor as
required to compute the worse case constants.
It also moves the weight factor out of primitives into consensus,
which is a more logical place for it.

This is a check that is mentioned in BIP 37, but never implemented in the
reference code. As Bitcoin Core so far never decodes partial merkle trees,
this is not a problem. But perhaps others use the code as a reference.
