roasbeef/btcd does not start with chain data created by btcsuite/btcd #21
Description
Background
I'm trying to setup LND for mainnet. For that I setup a btcd server. By mistake I used btcsuite/btcd to download the blockchain.
To use it with LND I setup roasbeef/btcd using the data directory created by btcsuite/btcd. I was expected that it will work without any problem.
However, when I start roasbeef/btcd it fails with the following:

Your environment
Running on Darwin admins-MacBook-Pro-2.local 16.7.0 Darwin Kernel Version 16.7.0: Thu Jun 15 17:36:27 PDT 2017; root:xnu-3789.70.16~2/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64
btcd version 0.12.0-beta
Steps to reproduce
Very easy for me to reproduce. Just start btcd.
If I use btcsuite/btcd it will start successfully.
Expected behaviour
Should start without errors
Actual behaviour
See above.
From debugging:
When loading block index at chainio.go
calling dbFetchHeaderByHeight with height=0 (first block)
getting correct has for height =0
calling dbFetchHeaderByHash with hash
calling FetchBlockHeader with hash
calling fetchBlockRow with hash
getting a blockrow from hash table using the Hash
returned blockrow has length of 12 which is causing a failure at db.go:1278
