encoding: Extending Block and EncodingBuffer interfaces

Now it is possible to use constructors to create Block from
EncodingBuffer and EncodingBuffer from Block.

Block->EncodingBuffer conversion is potentially dangerous and should be
used only in exceptional cases, such as Data packet encoding: to encode
the signed part first and then extend signed part with signature and
other related fields.
