Error when spending an already used UTXO: “runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference”

According to my observation, in btcwallet/rpc/legacyrpc/methods.go:1716 the call to hex.DecodeString(result.ScriptPubKey.Hex) with the parameter “result” is nil. This is because when calling resp.Receive() on line 1712, if you use a spent UTXO, it will return (nil,nil), so need to handle the error if result is nil.

Thanks for the fix. Linter is not happy though.

nit: the linter wants you to define this error as a package-level variable. So just add it to the top of the file with a name like errUtxoSpent and use it here.
