// MerkleRoot derives the merkle root from a 2d byte array with each element
// in the outer array signifying the data that is to be represented in the
// merkle tree.
// Note: This function is only used to merklize a list of block root hashes.
// As such, we assume the input comes pre-hashed and do NOT hash the leaves.
// Spec:
// def merkle_root(values):
// o = [0] * len(values) + values
// for i in range(len(values)-1, 0, -1):
// o[i] = hash(o[i*2] + o[i*2+1])
// return o[1]
