Better error handling for submitblock #10146

   Check transaction count early in submitblock.

   There is no point in even hashing a submitted block which doesn’t have a coinbase transaction.

   This also results in more useful error reporting on corrupted input.

   Thanks to rawodb for the bug report.

2. Make GetWitnessCommitmentIndex callable on blocks without a coinbase txn.

   This isn't actually needed anywhere, but it's less brittle.

    Reminder: this needs a functional test to prevent regression, but not necessary in this PR.
