No need to explicitly specify tree depth for merklearray proofs of a single leaf node, because the tree depth is exactly the number of sibling hashes in the proof.
This allows simplifying the format for sending single-leaf merklearray proofs, sending just the proofBytes []byte, and not having to send along an extra treeDepth.
The current algod API for fetching a proof still sends the tree depth along, for any clients that might care about it, but future APIs won't need to pass treeDepth.
