Previously specified version byte only produced the desired leading character if the check bytes were omitted

Thanks to TD from Samourai Wallet for pointing this out

114ed229d3 Correct serialization
Since the length of the data encoded by base58check affects the version
byte needed to produce a desired leading character, fix the length of
the payment code at 80 bytes, and correct the version byte to 0x23

1612a0016a BIP-0047: Reusable payment codes
Payment codes are SPV-friendly alternatives to DarkWallet-style stealth
addresses which provide useful features such as positively identifying
senders to recipients and automatically providing for transaction refunds.

Payment codes can be publicly advertised and associated with a real-life
identity without causing a loss of financial privacy.

Compared to stealth addresses, payment codes require less blockchain data
storage.

Payment codes require 65 bytes of OP_RETURN data per sender-recipient pair,
while stealth addresses require 40 bytes per transaction.
