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
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.
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.
