Detailed Description

Compact serializer for scripts.

It detects common cases and encodes them much more efficiently. 3 special cases are defined:

Pay to pubkey hash (encoded as 21 bytes)
Pay to script hash (encoded as 21 bytes)
Pay to pubkey starting with 0x02, 0x03 or 0x04 (encoded as 33 bytes)

Other scripts up to 121 bytes require 1 byte + script length. Above that, scripts up to 16505 bytes require 2 bytes + script length.
