registerVectorType method

LegacyBCS registerVectorType(String typeName)

Register custom vector type inside the bcs.

bcs.registerVectorType('vector<T>'); // generic registration
final array = bcs.de('vector<u8>', '06010203040506', Encoding.hex); // [1,2,3,4,5,6];
final again = bcs.ser('vector<u8>', [1,2,3,4,5,6]).hex();
