Canonical CBOR encoding

Hey! This speed at which this library encodes is just marvelous, awesome project! I noticed however, that this speed comes at the cost of binary size, since for simple “tags” cbor-x doesn’t always choose the shortest possible, e.g.

encode(Buffer.alloc(0)) // returns <Buffer 58 00>

while other implementations return the shorter (and canonical) <Buffer 40>. I would love for this to be corrected, cbor-x is just too fast! 😃 But I can totally understand if this is something that’s been done for speed’s sake or would require major effort.

No, this is super easy, just an oversight. Should be fixed with the commit above. I’ll get a new version published soon.
