Allow different type lengths to be stored and loaded

In a wasm context not all types are 256 bit like in evm. This would make
easier to store smaller primitives (e.g. i32), since they would not
require padding.

The bigger win is when storing/retrieving dynamically sized arrays. Strings
can be stored under a single key and do not require splitting up into
smaller 32 byte chunks, and arrays do not need to store a size parameter.
