Merge #8330: Structure Packing Optimizations in C{,Mutable}Transaction

37495e0 Reorder C{,Mutable}Transaction for better packing (Jeremy Rubin)

Pull request description:

  These commits revise the layout of a few key classes to eliminate padding, eliminating useless memory overhead.

  -This reduces CTransaction from 96 bytes to 88 bytes
