First approach to close issue #96
Encodings suggestion of elements to be hashed (similar to the ones used by U-Prove).
This PR follows option 2 from the above issue, i.e., the encoding of elements to be hashed is described in a separate section and used implicitly throughout the document. See PR #95 for more context.
I also suggest that scalars, non-negative integers, and generic octet strings must always be prepended with their length while it is only recommended for EC points.
