d65de7c7de Introduce and use new compact_size module (Tobin C. Harding)
Pull request description:
We would like to move the witness module to `primitives` but there is a bunch of usage of `VarInt`.
Introduce a module that does the encoding and decoding instead, note that while the functionality is internal decoding returns an error which may one day end up in the public API. So put the module in `primitives` and make it public.
Adds the module to `primitives`, adds a public `MAX_ENCODABLE_SIZE` variable that is commented with an issue link.
