Use explicit WithoutLength for BOLT 12 features

Most BOLT 12 features are used as the value of a TLV record and thus
don't use an explicit length. One exception is the features inside the
blinded payinfo subtype since the TLV record contains a list of them.
However, these features are also used in the BOLT 4 encrypted_data_tlv
TLV stream as a single record, where the length is implicit.

Implement Readable and Writeable for Features wrapped in WithoutLength
such that either serialization can be used where required.
