 21  /** Data structure that represents a partial merkle tree.
 22   *
 23   * It represents a subset of the txid's of a known block, in a way that
 24   * allows recovery of the list of txid's and the merkle root, in an
 25   * authenticated way.
 26   *
 27   * The encoding works as follows: we traverse the tree in depth-first order,
 28   * storing a bit for each traversed node, signifying whether the node is the
 29   * parent of at least one matched leaf txid (or a matched txid itself). In
 30   * case we are at the leaf level, or this bit is 0, its merkle node hash is
 31   * stored, and its children are not explored further. Otherwise, no hash is
 32   * stored, but we recurse into both (or the only) child branch. During
 33   * decoding, the same depth-first traversal is performed, consuming bits and
 34   * hashes as they written during encoding.
 35   *
 36   * The serialization is fixed and provides a hard guarantee about the
 37   * encoded size:
 38   *
 39   *   SIZE <= 10 + ceil(32.25*N)
 40   *
 41   * Where N represents the number of leaf nodes of the partial tree. N itself
 42   * is bounded by:
 43   *
 44   *   N <= total_transactions
 45   *   N <= 1 + matched_transactions*tree_height
 46   *
 47   * The serialization format:
 48   *  - uint32     total_transactions (4 bytes)
 49   *  - varint     number of hashes   (1-3 bytes)
 50   *  - uint256[]  hashes in depth-first order (<= 32*N bytes)
 51   *  - varint     number of bytes of flag bits (1-3 bytes)
 52   *  - byte[]     flag bits, packed per 8 in a byte, least significant bit first (<= 2*N-1 bits)
 53   * The size constraints follow from this.
