Return None from merkle_root functions

The merkle_root of an empty tree is undefined, this is the only error
case we have for the two `bitcoin_merkle_root*` functions. We can fully
describe this error case by returning an `Option` if args are found to
be empty. We can do the same for the wrapper functions in `block`
module.

While we are at it, refactor out a recursive helper function to make
reading the code between the two functions easier.
