* Added support for Containers * Added support for generic lists of fixed/variable size type * Added support for generic fixed size type vectors I had to add some handling of scopes (SSZReader.slice()) and also some type hierarchy. Let me try to justify why * The size of the list of variable size type is easy to calculate from the first offset, because the fixed part of encoding only contains offsets. * The size of a vector is known at the time of designing the data structure. * But the size of the list when reading a list of fixed size type is not encoded. To find out what the size is, one must carefully maintain the scopes and then divide the corresponding scope of the list by the size of one element (size of one element is known at the time of defining the data structure). * Moreover The length of a scope for a list is unknown until we read the offset of the next variable element in the parent container or the reminder of the fixed part.
