Change Details

Add sanity asserts for return value of `CBlockIndex::GetAncestor()` where appropriate. In validation.cpp `CheckSequenceLocks`, check the return value of `tip->GetAncestor(maxInputHeight)` stored into `lp->maxInputBlock`. If it ever returns `nullptr` because the ancestor isn't found, it's going to be a bad bug to keep going, since a `LockPoints` object with the `maxInputBlock` member set to `nullptr` signifies no relative lock time. In the other places, the added asserts would prevent accidental dereferencing of a null pointer which is undefined behavior.
