Use variable-length encoding for primitive data types int, long, short
----------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JGRP-1370
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1370
             Project: JGroups
          Issue Type: Enhancement
            Reporter: Bela Ban
            Assignee: Bela Ban
             Fix For: 3.1


Use variable-length encoding [1], to compress data on the wire even more. We currently compress longs and long ranges, but prefix them with a length byte. Using variable-length encoding, we can save that byte for most values.
