63d640fa6a merkle: remove unused `proot` and `pmutated` args from `MerkleComputation` (Lőrinc)
be270551df merkle: migrate `path` arg of `MerkleComputation` to a reference (Lőrinc)

Pull request description:

  ### Summary
  Simplifies merkle tree computation by removing dead code found through coverage analysis (following up on #33768 and #33786).

  ### History

  #### BlockWitnessMerkleRoot
  Original `MerkleComputation` was added in ee60e5625b (diff-706988c23877f8a557484053887f932b2cafb3b5998b50497ce7ff8118ac85a3R131) where it was called for either `&hash, mutated` or `position, &ret` args.
  In 1f0e7ca09c (diff-706988c23877f8a557484053887f932b2cafb3b5998b50497ce7ff8118ac85a3L135-L165) the first usage was inlined in `ComputeMerkleRoot`, leaving the `proot` and , `pmutated` values unused in `MerkleComputation`.
  Later in 4defdfab94 the method was moved to test and in 63d6ad7c89 (diff-706988c23877f8a557484053887f932b2cafb3b5998b50497ce7ff8118ac85a3R87-R95) was restored to the code, though with unused parameters again.

  #### BlockWitnessMerkleRoot
  `BlockWitnessMerkleRoot` was introduced in 8b49040854 where it was already called with `NULL` 8b49040854 (diff-34d21af3c614ea3cee120df276c9c4ae95053830d7f1d3deaf009a4625409ad2R3509) or an unused dummy 8b49040854 (diff-34d21af3c614ea3cee120df276c9c4ae95053830d7f1d3deaf009a4625409ad2R3598-R3599) for the `mutated` parameter.

  ### Fixes

  #### BlockWitnessMerkleRoot
  - Converts `path` parameter from pointer to reference (always non-null at call site)
  - Removes `proot` and `pmutated` parameters (always `nullptr` at call site)

  #### BlockWitnessMerkleRoot
  - Removes unused `mutated` output parameter (always passed as `nullptr`)

  The change is a refactor that shouldn't introduce *any* behavioral change, only remove dead code, leftovers from previous refactors.
