rlp: fixes for two corner cases and documentation (#19527)
These changes fix two corner cases related to internal handling of types
in package rlp: The "tail" struct tag can only be applied to the last field.
The check for this was wrong and didn't allow for private fields after the
field with the tag. Unsupported types (e.g. structs containing int) which
implement either the Encoder or Decoder interface but not both 
couldn't be encoded/decoded.

Also fixes #19367

3f047be5aa all: update license headers to distiguish GPL/LGPL
All code outside of cmd/ is licensed as LGPL. The headers
now reflect this by calling the whole work "the go-ethereum library".

cad64fb911 rlp: stricter rules for structs and pointers
The rules have changed as follows:

* When decoding into pointers, empty values no longer produce
  a nil pointer. This can be overriden for struct fields using the
  struct tag "nil".
* When decoding into structs, the input list must contain an element
  for each field.

552f5b2693 rlp: add functions for encoding
I'm reasonably confident that the encoding matches the output of
ethutil.Encode for values that it supports. Some of the tests have been
adpated from the Ethereum testing repository.

There are still TODOs in the code.

93e858f88e rlp: remove support for signed integer types
There is no agreement on how to encode negative integers
across implementations. cpp-ethereum doesn't support them either.
