Felix Lange 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.

// Stream. It is not forbidden to read less or more, but it might
// be confusing.

}
// Decode parses RLP-encoded data from r and stores the result in the
// value pointed to by val. Val must be a non-nil pointer. If r does
// not implement ByteReader, Decode will do its own buffering.
//
// Decode uses the following type-dependent decoding rules:
//
// If the type implements the Decoder interface, decode calls
// DecodeRLP.
//
// To decode into a pointer, Decode will set the pointer to nil if the
// input has size zero or the input is a single byte with value zero.
// If the input has nonzero size, Decode will allocate a new value of
// the type being pointed to.
//
// To decode into a struct, Decode expects the input to be an RLP
// list. The decoded elements of the list are assigned to each public
// field in the order given by the struct's definition. If the input
// list has too few elements, no error is returned and the remaining
// fields will have the zero value.
// Recursive struct types are supported.
//
// To decode into a slice, the input must be a list and the resulting
// slice will contain the input elements in order.
// As a special case, if the slice has a byte-size element type, the input
// can also be an RLP string.
//
// To decode into a Go string, the input must be an RLP string. The
// bytes are taken as-is and will not necessarily be valid UTF-8.
//
// To decode into an unsigned integer type, the input must also be an RLP
// string. The bytes are interpreted as a big endian representation of
// the integer. If the RLP string is larger than the bit size of the
// type, Decode will return an error. Decode also supports *big.Int.
// There is no size limit for big integers.
//
// To decode into an interface value, Decode stores one of these
// in the value:
//
// []interface{}, for RLP lists
// []byte, for RLP strings
//
// Non-empty interface types are not supported, nor are booleans,
// signed integers, floating point numbers, maps, channels and
// functions.
