Invalid encoding of dynamic types #17

Hi,
thanks for exthereum/abi. When using it I've noticed that calls to functions with arguments of dynamic types are not properly encoded.

ABI.encode("foo(bytes)", [<<1>>]) |> Base.encode16(case: :lower)
outputs
"30c8d1da00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000010100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000"
The correct output is:
"30c8d1da000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000002000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000010100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000"
The missing part is:
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000020
which is a head part of encoded bytes and should be put right behind encoded function signature.
