InitializeNew initializes a new MerkleTree backed by the provided DB.

LoadExisting loads an existing MerkleTree from the provided DB.

ValidateAddLeaf is used by Store implementations to validate AddLeaf calls.

ValidateCreate is used by Store implementations to validate Create calls.

Verify verifies that a merkle proof is correct.

todo: 64 levels causes an overflow issue.

MerkleTree is a DB-backed merkle tree implementation.

Level 0 = leaf Level (0, Record.Levels) = subtree Level Record.Levels = root.

Store is a DB layer to support persistent merkle trees.
