This changes the encoding of the `attribute` field, which currently only contains the value `0` denoting this tag is for an exception, from `varuint32` to `uint8`. This field is effectively unused at the moment and reserved for future use, and it is not likely to need `varuint32` even in future. See WebAssembly/exception-handling#162. This does not change any encoded binaries because `0` is encoded in the same way both in `varuint32` and `uint8`.
