The current spec is arguably inconsistent, in that if a set of N values gets chunked into M chunks where M is not an exact power of 2, the chunks between M and next_power_of_2(M) are filled with SSZ_CHUNK_SIZE zero bytes each, but the last chunk is not padded, and could be arbitrarily short (eg. if the values are 4 bytes and there are 257 of them, then that gets serialized into eight chunks chunks where the first four are 64 values each, the fifth is 4 bytes corresponding to the last value, and the last three chunks are SSZ_CHUNK_SIZE zero bytes). This PR fills every chunk up to exactly SSZ_CHUNK_SIZE bytes for consistency.
