Mostly it's about Go 1.22+ syntax with ranging over integers, but it also
prefers ranging over slices where possible (it makes code a little better to
read).
Notice that we have a number of dangerous loops where slices are mutated
during loop execution, many of these can't be converted since we need proper
length evalutation at every iteration.

NewMerkleTree is a memory hog, we can do better than that:
BenchmarkMerkle/NewMerkleTree-8 13 88434670 ns/op 20828207 B/op 300035 allocs/op
BenchmarkMerkle/CalcMerkleRoot-8 15 69264150 ns/op 0 B/op 0 allocs/op
buildMerkleTree() is internal to the hash package and if anyone calls it with
`len(leaves) == 0` he deserves a panic. As it's the only error case in it, we
can remove error value return from this function and simplify NewMerkleTree().
