Removed MAX_MONEY restriction as it is only useful for Bitcoin. As discussed with Andrew, rest-elements should be chain-agnostic, so no need for this check to exist.

I believe this restriction may also be relaxed in the elements repository for alternative assets. By doing so, it would allow more useful information to be stored on-chain (up to 12 more bits per UTXO!).

This would be a hardforking change. See ElementsProject/ELIPs#31 for a first step toward correcting it.
