All of these changes sound great. It would definitely make working with
PSBTs easier if all data was accessible in the same format, rather than
being split between the global unsigned tx and the main body.

One minor quibble is the version numbering -- you mention "v1" in this
post but set GLOBAL_TX_VERSION to 2. I think we should consistently use
2 everywhere; probably nobody thinks of the existing PSBT as "version 0".
