When keys are contiguous and monotonically increasing, this gets
denser page utilization (doesn't leave padding in page splits).
Can't be used for keys that are inserted in random order (e.g. hashes)
In total this only saves around 1.5% of space compared to original
DB code. The previous patch accounted for 0.8% savings on its own;
the blocks tables just aren't that big.
1995923 BlockchainLMDB: Deal with DB exceptions at block level with particularity (warptangent)
c16cc20 BlockchainLMDB: Add sanity check for inconsistent state (warptangent)
9118d0a BlockchainLMDB: Call destructor on allocated txn if setup fails (warptangent)
f5581c3 BlockchainLMDB: Replace remaining txn pointer NULLs with nullptr (warptangent)
Add another DB error exception type to distinguish failed txn setup from
general use of txn.
This keeps the error handling flow the same as before the block-level
txn setup changes that moved control up a layer to BlockchainDB.
This improves blockchain reorganization time by allowing one of the more
expensive DB lookups when popping a block to not have to seek through a
long dup list in the "output_amounts" db. This is most noticeable for
HDDs.

The check was explicit in the original version, so it seems
safer to make it explicit here, especially as it is now done
implicitely in a different place, away from the original check.
Data should be removed in the reverse order it was added. Not doing so
breaks assumptions and can cause problems in other DB implementations.
This matches the order of tx removal in
blockchain_storage::purge_block_data_from_blockchain.
This improves blockchain reorganization time by allowing one of the more
expensive DB lookups when popping a block to not have to seek through a
long dup list in the "output_amounts" subdb. This is most noticeable for
HDDs.
As before, the dup list is still walked if necessary (but in reverse),
and the global output index still confirmed to be the one looked for.
But under proper use, the result will be found at the end of the dup
list, so we start there.
Removing an amount output index is always done in the context of popping
a block, so the global output index being looked for should be the last
one in that amount key's dup list. Even if the txs themselves aren't
removed in reverse order (supposed to be according to original
implementation), the specified amount output index will still be near
the end, because the txs are in the same block.
TEST:
Pop blocks with blockchain_import.
Blocks should be successfully removed with no errors shown.
bitmonerod should be able to start syncing from the reduced blockchain
height.
