1. Add blockchain.NewUtxoEntry() to directly create entries for UtxoView… …

   …point
   
   The current methods to add to a UtxoViewpoint don't allow for a situation where
   we have only UTXO data but not a whole transaction.  This commit allows
   contstruction of a UtxoEntry without requiring a full MsgTx.
   
   AddTxOut() and AddTxOuts() both require a whole transaction, including the inputs,
   which are only used in order to calculate the txid.  In some situations, such as
   with use of the utreexo accumulator, we only have the utxo data but not the
   transaction which created it.
   
   For reference, utreexo's initial usage of the blockchain.NewUtxoEntry() function is at
