This patch removes the need for the intermediary Base58 type
CBitcoinAddress, by providing {Encode,Decode,IsValid}Destination
function that directly operate on the conversion between strings
and CTxDestination.
Not returning a value at the end of a non-void function is undefined behaviour.
Given that this managed to pass our full test suite, I guess that GCC looks for
un-returned values at the end of a function and uses them as the return value,
if the keyword is missing. Clang OTOH complains, which is how we spotted this:
https://ci.z.cash/#/builders/16/builds/282
SetString seems to be passing the length of the wrong variable to
memory_cleanse, resulting in the last byte of the temporary buffer not being
securely erased.
Previously we had both nVersion as a class parameter *and* a serialization
argument, and in several inherited serializers the latter was set to the former,
in order to pass the serialized object's version into underlying parsers. #3180
pulled in the upstream changes to clean this up, and in doing so these lines
became no-ops - setting the class parameter to itself. Clang throws warnings on
this, which turn into errors on the MacOS builder.
We can just remove these, because upstream already had done so in earlier PRs,
indicating that they were not being relied on by underlying parsers.
Details of Sapling datatypes will be filled in later; for now, they are treated
as binary blobs.

BIP144: Serialization, hashes, relay (sender side)
Dbwrapper used GetSerializeSize() to compute the size of the buffer
to preallocate. For some cases (specifically: CCoins) this requires
a costly compression call. Avoid this by just using fixed size
preallocations instead.
To get the advantages of faster GetSerializeSize() implementations
back that were removed in "Make GetSerializeSize a wrapper on top of
CSizeComputer", reintroduce them in the few places in the form of a
specialized Serialize() implementation. This actually gets us in a
better state than before, as these even get used when they're invoked
indirectly in the serialization of another object.
The CSerAction's ForRead() method does not depend on any runtime
data, so guarantee that requests to it can be optimized out by
making it constexpr.
