blockchain: Support small coinbase block size

Browse source 
This modifies the ExtractCoinbaseHeight function to recognize small
canonically serialized block heights in coinbase scripts of blocks
higher than version 2.

This allows regression test chains in which blocks encode the serialized
height in the coinbase starting from block 1.
