//	              Overview of Nursery Store Storage Hierarchy
//
//   CHAIN SEGMENTATION
//
//   The root directory of a nursery store is bucketed by the chain hash and
//   the 'utxn' prefix. This allows multiple utxo nurseries for distinct chains
//   to simultaneously use the same channel.DB instance. This is critical for
//   providing replay protection and more to isolate chain-specific data in the
//   multichain setting.
//
//   utxn<chain-hash>/
//   |
//   |   CHANNEL INDEX
//   |
//   |   The channel index contains a directory for each channel that has a
//   |   non-zero number of outputs being tracked by the nursery store.
//   |   Inside each channel directory are files containing serialized spendable
//   |   outputs that are awaiting some state transition. The name of each file
//   |   contains the outpoint of the spendable output in the file, and is
//   |   prefixed with 4-byte state prefix, indicating whether the spendable
//   |   output is a crib, preschool, or kindergarten, or graduated output. The
//   |   nursery store supports the ability to enumerate all outputs for a
//   |   particular channel, which is useful in constructing nursery reports.

//   |
//   |   HEIGHT INDEX
//   |
//   |   The height index contains a directory for each height at which the
//   |   nursery still has scheduled actions. If an output is a crib or
//   |   kindergarten output, it will have an associated entry in the height
//   |   index. Inside a particular height directory, the structure is similar
//   |   to that of the channel index, containing multiple channel directories,
//   |   each of which contains subdirectories named with a prefixed outpoint
//   |   belonging to the channel. Enumerating these combinations yields a
//   |   relative file path:
//   |     e.g. <chan-point-3>/<prefix><outpoint-2>/
//   |   that can be queried in the channel index to retrieve the serialized
//   |   output.
