The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds standard encoding and decoding support for ServiceFlags, a data type used in Bitcoin peer-to-peer messages. It is a routine feature addition with no visible security bug. The change simply lets the library serialize and deserialize ServiceFlags using a new internal encoding framework.
