Merge #10898: Fix invalid checks (NULL checks after dereference, redundant checks, etc.)

76fed83 Avoid NULL pointer dereference when _walletModel is NULL (which is valid) (practicalswift)
4971a9a Use two boolean literals instead of re-using variable (practicalswift)
b5fb339 Remove duplicate uriParts.size() > 0 check (practicalswift)
7466991 Remove redundant check (!ecc is always true) (practicalswift)
55224af Remove redundant NULL checks after new (practicalswift)

Pull request description:

  Contains:
  * Remove redundant `NULL` checks after throwing `new`
  * Remove redundant check (`!ecc` is always true)
  * Remove duplicate `uriParts.size() > 0` check
  * Use two boolean literals instead of re-using variable
