// The transaction spend journal consists of an entry for each block connected
// to the main chain which contains the transaction outputs the block spends
// serialized such that the order is the reverse of the order they were spent.
//
// This is required because reorganizing the chain necessarily entails
// disconnecting blocks to get back to the point of the fork which implies
// unspending all of the transaction outputs that each block previously spent.
// Since the utxo set, by definition, only contains unspent transaction outputs,
// the spent transaction outputs must be resurrected from somewhere.  There is
// more than one way this could be done, however this is the most straight
// forward method that does not require having a transaction index and unpruned
// blockchain.
//
// NOTE: This format is NOT self describing.  The additional details such as
// the number of entries (transaction inputs) are expected to come from the
// block itself and the utxo set (for legacy entries).  The rationale in doing
// this is to save space.  This is also the reason the spent outputs are
// serialized in the reverse order they are spent because later transactions are
// allowed to spend outputs from earlier ones in the same block.
//
// The reserved field below used to keep track of the version of the containing
// transaction when the height in the header code was non-zero, however the
// height is always non-zero now, but keeping the extra reserved field allows

//   compressed txout
