encode/decode number as bitcoin variable length integer
This is a fork of the original varuint-bitcoin library with minor changes:
- codebase updated to use UInt8Array instead of Buffer - thus making this library browser-compatible without any shims
- package type changed to ESModule instead of CommonJS
- updated tests to reflect these changes
