Refactoring the field encoder interface.

Replaced the confusing pb_enc_* functions with new pb_encode_* functions that
have a cleaner interface. Updated documentation.

Got rid of the endian_copy stuff in pb_encode.c, instead using C casts to do it automatically.
This makes the code safer and also reduces binary size by about 5%.

Fixes Issue 6.
