io.Reader may return n > 0 and io.EOF at the end of the input stream.
readFull did not handle this correctly, looking only at the error. This fixes
it to check for n == len(buf) as well.

Changes:

    Simplify nested complexity
    If an if blocks ends with a return statement then remove the else nesting.

This PR contains a minor optimization in derivesha, by exposing the RLP
int-encoding and making use of it to write integers directly to a
buffer (an RLP integer is known to never require more than 9 bytes
total). rlp.AppendUint64 might be useful in other places too.

The code assumes, just as before, that the hasher (a trie) will copy the
key internally, which it does when doing keybytesToHex(key).

This can be useful when working with raw RLP data.

This change further improves the performance of RLP encoding by removing
allocations for big.Int and [...]byte types. I have added a new benchmark
that measures RLP encoding of types.Block to verify that performance is
improved.

List headers made up 11% of all allocations during sync. This change
removes most of those allocations by keeping the list header values
cached in the encoder buffer instead. Since encoder buffers are pooled,
list headers are no longer allocated in the common case where an
encoder buffer is available for reuse.

* rlp: improve nil pointer handling

In both encoder and decoder, the rules for encoding nil pointers were a
bit hard to understand, and didn't leave much choice. Since RLP allows
two empty values (empty list, empty string), any protocol built on RLP
must choose either of these values to represent the null value in a
certain context.

This change adds choice in the form of two new struct tags, "nilString"
and "nilList". These can be used to specify how a nil pointer value is
encoded. The "nil" tag still exists, but its implementation is now
explicit and defines exactly how nil pointers are handled in a single
place.

Another important change in this commit is how nil pointers and the
Encoder interface interact. The EncodeRLP method was previously called
even on nil values, which was supposed to give users a choice of how
their value would be handled when nil. It turns out this is a stupid
idea. If you create a network protocol containing an object defined in
another package, it's better to be able to say that the object should be
a list or string when nil in the definition of the protocol message
rather than defining the encoding of nil on the object itself.

As of this commit, the encoding rules for pointers now take precedence
over the Encoder interface rule. I think the "nil" tag will work fine
for most cases. For special kinds of objects which are a struct in Go
but strings in RLP, code using the object can specify the desired
encoding of nil using the "nilString" and "nilList" tags.

* rlp: propagate struct field type errors

If a struct contained fields of undecodable type, the encoder and
decoder would panic instead of returning an error. Fix this by
propagating type errors in makeStruct{Writer,Decoder} and add a test.

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

Prevents reallocation, improves performance

Issue found by @guidovranken

These functions allow destructuring of raw rlp-encoded bytes
without the overhead of reflection or copying.

The bug can cause crashes if Read is called after EOF has been returned.
No code performs such calls right now, but hitting the bug gets more
likely as rlp.EncodeToReader gets used in more places.
