Merge bitcoin#14268: Introduce SafeDbt to handle Dbt with free or memory_cleanse raii-style

4a86a0a Make SafeDbt DB_DBT_MALLOC on default initialization (Ben Woosley)
1a9f9f7 Introduce SafeDbt to handle DB_DBT_MALLOC raii-style (Ben Woosley)
951a44e Drop unused setRange arg to BerkeleyBatch::ReadAtCursor (Ben Woosley)

Pull request description:

  This provides additional exception-safety and case handling for the proper
  freeing of the associated buffers.
