## Rationale

This introduces account versioning via a new RLP item in account
state. The first design above gets account versioning by making the
contract *family* always have the same version. In this way, versions
are only needed to be provided by contract creation transaction, and
there is no restrictions on formats of code for any version. If we
want to support multiple newest VMs (for example, EVM and WebAssembly
running together), then this requires alternative design in contract
creation transaction section

The second design above requires new versions of VMs follow a
formatting -- that it always has a prefix. In this way, the version
can be derived from the prefix, thus allowing a contract *family* to
have multiple versions. It also makes it so that we can pin contract
creation transaction using only one VM version, and it can deploy
other VM versions.
